I am trying to make a folder on Windows 10 case sensitive.
I found this link that shows what you should do: basically it should be very easy:
fsutil.exe file setCaseSensitiveInfo -destination here- enable
Unfortunately I keep getting this error:
Error: The request is not supported.
Does anybody know how to fix this?

Standard behavior: Windows file system treats file and directory names as case-insensitive.
fsutil objectid. Manages object identifiers, which are used by the Windows operating system to track objects such as files and directories. fsutil quota. Manages disk quotas on NTFS volumes to provide more precise control of network-based storage.
Microsoft introduced with Windows 11 case-sensitive validation of the NPS certificate (Windows 10 supported nonsensitive notation).
Type the following command to enable NTFS to treat the folder's content as case sensitive and press Enter: fsutil.exe file SetCaseSensitiveInfo C:\folder\path enable In the command, remember to include the path to the folder you want to enable case sensitivity.
The command you need to run is:
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux
It will take several seconds to run, and will prompt you to restart your computer (which you can decline).

Firstly run the below command on Windows PowerShell opened in administrator mode:
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux
It takes few seconds and will prompt you to restart your computer. After restarting, open the command prompt in administrator mode and run:
fsutil.exe file SetCaseSensitiveInfo YourDestinationFolder enable
Example:
fsutil.exe file SetCaseSensitiveInfo C:\Users\gmudepa\Documents\GitHub\linux enable
