Execution of ".exe" fails in shared folders, with Windows 10 or 11

Description

Host Windows 10. Guest Windows 10 or 11. (Windows XP x32 and Windows 7 x64, work fine)

When an ".exe" is run inside a shared folder, it gives the error "The specified path does not exist" depending on the number of characters in the path + the file name, and the text entered in "Folder name" (sharename).

Examples with mountpoint = "X:":

sharename = "1":

OK    X:\1234567.exe

NOK  X:\12345678.exe

sharename = "12":

OK    X:\12345678.exe

NOK  X:\123456789.exe

sharename = "123":

OK    X:\123456789.exe

NOK  X:\1234567890.exe

... sharename = "12345678":

OK    X:\12345678901234.exe

NOK  X:\123456789012345.exe

Interestingly, the more characters sharename has, the more characters the ".exe" file name allows.
