Windows 10 Pro 22H2 - Enable Win32 long path doesn't work

Question

I am using Windows 10 Pro, version 22H2, and I tried to enable Win32 long path through the registry and local group policy then restart. Unfortunately, neither of the settings doesn't work. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Hello,

based upon the information provided.

Please check using

Go to Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Filesystem, then enable the Enable Win32 long paths option.

or

In the Registry Editor windows paste the following path to the FileSystem folder in the address bar and press Enter.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem

In the FileSystem folder, find the LongPathsEnabled and double-click on it.

You will see a small DWORD window. Change the value from 0 to 1 and click on OK to save the changes.

It will enable long paths on your PC. If you want to disable it, you can change the value from 0 to 1 anytime.

And see if it helps,

Thank you
