Description
Currently testing on Windows is commented out in our GitHub Actions.
https://github.com/ahupp/python-magic/blob/aa49677fbec9a4fc96b54e42c2517a2118d66db8/.github/workflows/ci.yml#L13-L14
Linux and macOS work just fine but on Windows the tests never complete.

Research direction
Start with .github/workflows/ci.yml at lines 13-14 and inspect the commented Windows testing configuration. Run the existing CI checks or reproduce the Windows job to determine why the tests never complete. Done means Windows testing is enabled and the workflow completes successfully alongside Linux and macOS.
