You should also configure Windows to better support path lengths over 260 characters.
Explained here: https://www.howtogeek.com/266621/how-to-make-windows-10-accept-file-paths-over-260-characters/
And here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation?tabs=registry

It's a registry setting or group policy setting to change that.
