Yep, ignore the articles already given.  Try searching on UNC or Uniform
Naming Convention Windows.  Here's more articles you'll ignore, because
it conflicts with your contention that you're not using UNC syntax:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/naming-a-file
Naming Conventions (3rd bullet)
Fully Qualified vs. Relative Paths ("A UNC name ...")

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows_protocols/ms-dtyp/62e862f4-2a51-452e-8eeb-dc4ff5ee33cc
(shows the UNC syntax already mentioned)

So, just WHAT syntax do *you* think you are using?  Let us see just what
you can contrive that contradicts what you show.
