It works for me. Try providing a reproducible recipe, starting with `emacs -Q'. Use `M-x report-emacs-bug' to report it as a problem, if you think the problem is not on your end. My guess would be that it is a platform problem. But if you are on MS Windows, with nothing else special going on, it should just work, out of the box.
