My Win is installed on the SSD and the files are located on the HD.

Hi!, it's a partial solution.
I realized that it works if the file path have no unicode names either.
Does not matter where the file is. it is file name or the file path that makes the problem. Even on 2.70 version over win10.

if there is only unicode filename. it should works setting the NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation value to 0 and copying the file to any place to regenarate short filenames. That is the real problem, i think.
some apps needs the old short filename system.

check your file path and change it to non-unicode names.
