Windows has supported long pathnames forever. You just have to use special APIs for it. The problem is not windows support or lack thereof. The problem is that the vast ecosystem of windows tools/applications are often not long path capable, which means they sometimes cannot even see files with long pathnames. Before this latest win10 update, even windows eplorer could not handle long paths (I dont know if that has actually changed in this update thougj).
