You should try 2.24.4.  There have been numerous problems with Windows
and Guile in need of fixes.  This is one.  While this apparently is
still work in progress, you are rarely doing yourself a favor by using
anything but the latest stable version.

I cannot guarantee that 2.24.4 will be faultless but it is a quite
better bet than 2.24.2: within one stable version (2.24) subsequent
releases are almost exclusively constrained to bug fixes, and this bug
area has been of the kind that triggered several new releases.
