[issue45777] Issue in reading files with a path longer than 256 letters after latest update

I wonder if the Windows 11 upgrade process disables this registry key when it's set directly?

That's not something we can fix (I don't think?), so we may just have to list it as an option.

If you can, check whether running a Repair of your Python install offers the button at the end to enable it again. If so, that may be the best thing for us to suggest (if this turns out to be widespread).
