Windows 10 – Enable NTFS Long Paths Policy Option Missing

filenamesntfswindowswindows 10windows-10-v1607

For some time, Microsoft has supported an option to remove the limit of 260 symbols for NTFS file name length.

The web is full of articles, describing what should be done.

  1. Hit the Windows key, type gpedit.msc and press Enter.
  2. Navigate to Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Filesystem > NTFS.
  3. Double click the Enable NTFS long paths option and enable it.

However, I don't have such option. Please see the screenshot below:

Am I missing some Windows update, or is it something else?

Best Answer

The value has moved from NTFS directly into Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Filesystem in the RTM version of the Version 1607.
