I think the problem both here and in [JDK-8368165](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8368165) is the same: `GetFinalPathNameByHandle` either fails outright or gives an unexpected result. To me, the correct approach in these cases, insofar as one can detect them, is to fall back to the logic implemented by `WindowsLinkSupport.resolveAllLinks`, which appears to provide what is wanted but is slower. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/27324#issuecomment-3422754338
