Then why did Windows 10 allow a file to be created with a file name longer than 255 characters?

That makes no sense.
If you could save it, you can delete it.

Even if this story was true (which isn't), you can use a Live CD/USB.

Try creating a file named "CON". It won't work, because MS-DOS 2.0 used that as a reserved keyword.

All code is that bad, because humans are stupid and their end will surely come soon.

Not using a live CD was retarded of you and I don't think you belong on this board.

260 characters ought to be enough for everybody

They have a bug unfixable atm that causes CPU usage spikes if you have a user with the word"user" in its usernamr
you can rename it from an alternative file explorer.
I had the same issue with a file and just changed the name from 7zip.
