thanks for the report.  How do you configure pdf-tools in order to use
it?  Do you use `TeX-pdf-tools-sync-view' and does it work on Windows?
I.e., do you have something like this in your init file:

    (setq TeX-view-program-list
          '((PDF Tools" TeX-pdf-tools-sync-view)))

    (setq TeX-view-program-selection
          '((output-pdf "PDF Tools")))


I can't build pdf-tools myself right now (it seems to rely on cask which
is not installed on my box).

Adding one or two entries to `TeX-view-program-list-builtin' is not a
big deal.

Best, Arash
