Hi Arno4444 ,


1. If possible:
Rename the file so that it has a shorter name.
Rename one or more folders that contain the file so that they have shorter names.
Move the file to a folder with a shorter path name.

2. The error you’re encountering is due to the filename being longer than the system-defined maximum limit. This is a common issue in Windows systems where the maximum path length is 260 characters by default. Starting from Windows 10 version 1607, MAX_PATH limitations have been removed from common Win32 file and directory functions. However, you must opt-in to the new behavior.
