Windows 10 Disable maximum path limitation

Question

I wanted to disable the path limitation because I need it for my projects for a better organization, but it doesn't seem to work. I tried to disable it from Registry and from Group Policy by setting LongPathsEnabled to 1, and by enabling "Enable Win32 longs paths", but even after changing those and restarting my computer, I still get this error when the path is over 260.

Is there something else that I'm missing to disable the maximum path limit?

Answer 1

Nevertheless you may report impossiblity to create new folder.

Do you have some third-party Explorer extensions? Please use ShellExView tool to disable all non-Microsoft extensions and check it this helps.

Try to repair system files by

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

command from Windows PowerShell (administrator) environment.

Answer 2

I don't use any extensions, and I do use that command a few times a year, by the way you forgat to add sfc /scannow, is better to run them both one after the other.

Answer 3

Did you check the presence of third-party extensions? Some programs install them without any special notification.

Answer 4

There aren't any.

Answer 5

Sorry, I have no another explanation why you cannot create files but I can.

Nevertheless new folder cannot be created and this may be reported to Microsoft.
