    I also am unable to enable long paths on my Windows 11 Professional system.

    Because of that, the command:

    pip install tensorflow

    fails at the end with the text:

    HINT: This error might have occurred since this system does not have Windows Long Path support enabled. You can find information on how to enable this at https://pip.pypa.io/warnings/enable-long-paths
