I ask because I've heard mixed comments about how there can be bugs related to long file names. Windows 10 has an option to allow for longer file paths ().Is it risky to enable this option? GPO: enable win32 long paths I saw that the Windows 10 Anniversary Update was supposed to address the limitation of long file paths and names. NTFS allows paths longer than most applications can handle. According to what I found, the new GPO entry of "enable NTFS long paths" was supposed to be added, but I didn't see it.

Many applications, the .Net Framework and Windows itself have major issues with paths that have 260 or more characters, the result is that typically files in long paths cannot be used. Purtroppo ho verificato che il limite persiste e , da ricerche effettuate in rete, ho letto di NTFS Long Paths - Enable or Per questo attendevo l'aggiornamento Anniversary di Windows 10 che doveva risolvere, da quanto avevo letto, questa limitazione (255 caratteri). There are default restrictions of 260 characters for file-names/paths and 248 characters for directory paths this makes it important to be able to scan for long paths.
