Thank you, I had not noticed that in the original article, only the registry key.
That puzzles me, then - why have a registry key to toggle being able to manifest that at all?
- WorldMaker 10y agoSo that Group Policy can turn it off. For instance, an Enterprise doesn't want anyone using super long paths, even if software is manifested to handle it, because some of their NTFS drives are secretly NetWare shares of FAT volumes still and things will go wonky. The more interesting question is why doesn't this build default that registry key to On in this Build. My presumption here is that the Win32 subsystem changes are possibly significant and there are some backwards compatibility concerns and so this is "feature flagged" until it's been tested more in labs/real world exposure.
