<p>Restoring from seed on windows does not work because bitcoinj access the blockchain file using a memory mapped file. There are issues on windows relinquishing control of memory mapped files.<br>

<p>There is a workardound to avoid this bug on bitcoinj, but that depends on some jdk8 specific stuff. Since bisq is run with jdk10, the workardound does not work.</p>
