Windows goes to 260 chars, but the underlying system supports something like 64K, which means you can have files on Windows which are largely untouchable by built-in tools (Windows Explorer, file dialogs etc.)
- masklinn 5y agoWindows goes way beyond 260, but for BC purposes historically you needed UNC paths (and UNC-aware APIs?). Since W10 Anniversary Update, there is a setting to disable the MAX_PATH limitation in various APIs, but applications still have to opt into long path awareness via a manifest key.
