I would like to have it at least as it used to be...
Also, windows certainly can save longer file names than those I put here as an example. Much longer.

It can certainly display filenames as long as I want them to be if saved from linux -- like Kindles for example. But copying them from there results in some oddly shortened names. The whole thing seems needlessly confusing. (Typical of Windows)
According to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_filename#Limitations there seems to be problems with multiple renamings of the same file, and Google also gives lots of fascinating discussion about different API calls which have various issues with naming files.
I believe the general rule of thumb is no Windows filename
PATH can be longer than 256 characters.
