Long file names not functioning in Windows 11, despite being enabled

Greetings,

 

I have encountered an issue with Windows 11. Specifically, I am unable to exceed approximately 56 characters for folder names. Upon attempting to move folders with names longer than 56 characters, Windows returns an error. In an effort to address this, I followed instructions to enable this feature in both Group Policy and the Registry Editor. However, even after restarting, the error persists. Could you provide assistance with resolving this matter?

 

Thank you.

    Ensure your Windows 11 is fully updated, as some issues may have been resolved in later updates. Go to Settings > Windows Update and check for updates.
