Most JavaFX apps unusable on Windows 10 (combo boxes bug)

[Kevin Rushforth]

A preliminary evaluation is that this is related to accessibility. A 
workaround might be:

    java -Dglass.accessible.force=false ...

If you can try that and let me know if it works for you (it does on our 
system with the test case attached to the bug report), then I will add 
that information to the JIRA.
