      Loading paths longer than 259 charcters on Windows does not work for network drives. For long paths the `\\?\` prefix gets added, but this only works for local drives. For network drives the path needs to be \\?\UNC\servername\path. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation
