GnuPG has made some long-overdue changes between 2.2 and 2.3. 2.2
defaults to "let's generate traffic like we've done since 2000", and 2.3
defaults to "let's use some newer and better cryptography". It's
possible to create traffic in 2.3 that cannot be read in 2.2.
Adding "rfc4880" to your %APPDATA%\gnupg\gpg.conf file on your Windows
box might help: this forces GnuPG to use the older style of cryptography.
Let us know if this helps!
