1. 1 Press Windows key + R to open the Run dialog. Type 'cmd' and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to open Command Prompt as Administrator. Click Yes if prompted by User Account Control. This gives you the elevated privileges needed to change system settings.
2. 2 In the Command Prompt, type the following command and press Enter: fsutil behavior query disable8dot3. This checks the current setting for short name generation. The output will show a number (0, 1, 2, or 3). If it's 1, short names are disabled on all volumes; if it's 2, they are disabled on removable drives; if it's 3, disabled on fixed drives. This tells you why the error occurs.
3. 3 To enable short names on the specific volume where the error occurs, you need to know the drive letter (e.g., C:). Run the command: fsutil behavior set disable8dot3 0. This enables short name generation system-wide. If you want to enable it only for a specific volume, you can use the /volume option, but for most users, setting it to 0 is the simplest fix.
4. 4 After changing the setting, you may need to restart your computer for the change to take effect. Save any open work and reboot. Once restarted, try the operation that caused the error again. If it still fails, you may need to create short names for existing files using the command: fsutil file setshortname . However, this is rarely necessary.
5. 5 If you prefer not to enable short names globally, you can enable them only for the specific volume by using the command: fsutil behavior set disable8dot3 2 (for removable drives) or 3 (for fixed drives) and then use the /volume option to specify the drive. But the simplest and most reliable fix is to set it to 0.
