    Description

      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.
