   > pyarrow.util.download_tzdata_on_windows() does not work anymore for 
Windows 10/11 installations
   
   How did you make this conclusion? The downloaded `tzdata` folder downloaded 
from the official website of IANA timezone database does not provide 
directories like `GMT` in the zoneinfo. IIUC, it requires additional 
compilation of `tzcode` to generate files for different zones. The installed 
`tzdata` from `pip` or `uv` are the generated results of that process.
   
   I think the main confusion is that the Apache ORC C++ library uses a 
different approach to detect the tzdata and Windows does not provide an 
installed tzdata. I agree that it is better to update the documentation to 
reflect this.
