Thanks for the report! I think the problem was that the encoding was hardcoded, now it gets the locale configuration for the files managing but maintains the option to choose the default shp encoding (utf8 but can be changed in preferences). Would you mind try it now with the development branch? Also I've to say that the Windows version is not as functional as the Linux one, I found other bugs related with temporal files and the preview of the geometries and styles so I'd try to solve that before having a Windows stable version so sorry for the inconvenience.
