Can someone verify [this Windows build of Julia](https://buildkite.com/organizations/julialang/pipelines/julia-master/builds/19527/jobs/01855457-f8f6-4428-93fb-f1881199b311/artifacts/0185546e-b208-40e5-a566-00f2d63dbc6f), from [[CompilerSupportLibraries\_jll] Add `libssp` as product on Windows by giordano · Pull Request #48012 · JuliaLang/julia · GitHub](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/48012), solves the problem? You should be able to use Plots.jl or also just Cairo.jl without having to add the directory where Julia is to the `PATH` environment variable (if you do that you defeat the purpose of the test).
