Enabling Long Path to Allow Files with Long Names in Windows 10 File Explorer

[BruceR41]

I’ve done the fixes suggested by the Microsoft Community:

• Setting the registry key Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\LongPathsEnabled (Type: REG_DWORD) to 1
• Adding Enable Win32 long paths in the Local Computer Policy: Computer Configuration: Administrative Templates: All Settings
• Performing gpupdate and rebooting the system after these changes

I am incapable of implementing another solution recommended by the Microsoft Community:

The application manifest must also include the [COLOR=#171717]longPathAware[/COLOR] element.

XMLCopy

<application xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">

[COLOR=#171717][FONT=calibri] [/FONT][/COLOR]<windowsSettings xmlns:ws2="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2016/WindowsSettings">

[COLOR=#171717][FONT=calibri] [/FONT][/COLOR]<ws2:longPathAware>[COLOR=#171717][FONT=calibri]true[/FONT][/COLOR]</ws2:longPathAware>

[COLOR=#171717][FONT=calibri] [/FONT][/COLOR]</windowsSettings>

</application>

Is there anything else I can try?
