Any other information

Both Windows machines use english installations and english display language with german region settings and german keyboard layout. Some other issue mentioned changing the "Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support" setting in windows, which didn't help in either combination (on on both machine, off on both, on on one, off on one...)
