Don't jump for joy just yet. Not all programs support this feature yet. Most of the most popular program already do. But the big question is if the 32-bit legacy program ironically named Legacy has properly manifested itself to allow the longer file names. Only the programmers at Legacy can answer this question.
So..how about it Legacy? Do you support the new longer names in Win10 or not? Brian in Ca (of course we could all tell by attempting to enable the longer file names by using the Group Policy Editor and then test it out in Legacy.)

However, you must opt-in to the new behavior. Check with Microsoft for the complete instructions. It has been a godsend!

If it should find a file with the right name in some off the wall folder it probably is not the sane file and I wouldn't want my laptop Legacy to mismatch the desktop (disaster). If anyone is creating incomplete media backups due to exceeding the 260 character filepath/name then it is a serious problem. If they only have Legacy on one computer I don't know they could check for the problem but they should. Since George does have a 2nd computer with Legacy it is important to all of us to discover if problem is from exceeding 260 char. George, What if you create a media backup with shorter filename. My default is: vanwasshnova-media 2016-12-06 9.28.37 AM.zip but could be shortened to vw-media Dec-06.zip at least to try to fit more media files if not all.
