There are no new tests required, because this patch fixes multiple existing
tests on Windows.
Thanks for the review, Arpit. I'll commit this.
> Tests block and sometimes timeout on Windows due to invalid entropy source.

> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: build, test
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0, 2.1.1-beta

> Tests are configured to set the entropy source to {{file:///dev/urandom}} to
> prevent blocking on machines with low entropy. We've observed that on
> Windows, this will cause tests to block for 5 seconds trying to access this
> non-existent path the first time the process does something that needs
> entropy, such as using a {{SecureRandom}} or creating a {{UUID}}. This can
> cause tests to fail due to timeouts. In addition to the initial 5-second
> blocking, this causes the JVM to fall back to a slower, non-native seed
> generation implementation.
