Hi,

does anyone know where I can find the application manifest on Windows 10 Home Version 20H2?

I need it to remove the maximum path lenght limitation, according to what is explained here

The document says that "Theapplication manifestmust also include the longPathAware element."

But where can I find the application manifest?

    Hi Jose,

    Thank you again.

    I followed the steps that you suggested but also in this case it doesn't work.

    I think that the problem is not related to Python, since even if I try to create a normal text file and name it with a long name (160 characters) the file name is automatically trimmed.

    The same happens when I try to rename existing files, for example pictures

    Hi, my name is Jose, a Windows user like you. I'll be glad to help you today.

    It is not necessary to create or edit a manifiest.xml file to modify the long path limit. To modify this limit, please right click on Start button and select Windows Powershell (admin), then paste the following command:

    New-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem" `

    -Name "LongPathsEnabled" -Value 1 -PropertyType DWORD -Force

    Next, restart your computer.

    Please let me know if you need any further assistance.
