Long file path support

Wolvenkit showed me a popup, how do I fix this?

Why is this a problem?

If your file paths are longer than 256 characters and your operating system does not support long paths, Wolvenkit will run into errors when importing/exporting files.

Is there any risk?

No. This should be enabled by default in any operating system sold after 1635, but for some reason, it isn't.

TL;DR

1. Open a Powershell window as administrator (Keyboard shortcuts: Windows+R, type powershell, pressCtrl+Shift+Enter)

2. Paste the following command:

New-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem" `
-Name "LongPathsEnabled" -Value 1 -PropertyType DWORD -Force

1. Press Enter

Linux

This feature is supported out-of-the-box. Just try to stay under 4000 characters.
