By default, Windows has a limitation of filename lengths of 260 characters.

Windows 10 removes this limitation, but it needs to be actived.


Follow these steps to activate long path support:

  1. Open the Registry editor by pressing Win+R, then type regedit and click OK
  2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Control > FileSystem
  3.  Change the value of the key LongPathsEnabled to 1 and click OK
  4. Restart your machine


Now it should be possible to work with paths/files that exceeds 260 characters in total length.
