[MNT]: Flaky Windows_py31x tests on Azure Pipelines #29797
Description
Summary
The Windows_py310 Azure Pipelines test jobs run by GitHub Actions for this repo appear to be unreliable at the moment.
Test timeouts and failures have occurred on both pull requests and mainline branch checks, and the failures do not appear related to the commits-under-test:
- https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/runs/39207771398
- https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/runs/39255092053
- https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/runs/39260338683
It's possible that this is a temporary/ephemeral issue.
Proposed fix
N/A (yet) - I'm not sure what the cause of these failures is yet
