Hm. I can't reproduce this in my test win10 VM, unfortunately. What OS / OS
version is the host? Any chance to get systeminfo.exe output or something like
that?

I think we ought to do something here. If newer environments cause failures
like this, it seems likely that this will spread to more and more applications
over time...
