MAX_PATH used to be 260 characters but was changed fairly early in Windows 10 life to 32k.
NTFS has always supported 32k characters in the path with each part being no more than 255 characters.
Office, OTOH, does not respect/observe MAX_PATH. Do not exceed ~240 characters in the path + filename for an Office document as Office will be unable to open it.
