Research direction
Start by tracing the reported path through electrum/network.py, especially process_response and on_notify_header, into electrum/blockchain.py at check_header, get_hash, and read_header. Reproduce the OSError across the reported Windows environments and determine the relevant file-reading condition; done means the crash no longer occurs and the affected behavior is covered by an appropriate regression check.
