Lately, I have been having trouble using the multiprocessing library's shared memory on Windows. Often, updating the .value property seems to fail for no reason. As shown in the attached video, changing ```if __name__ == '__main__':``` in the sample code from the documentation to  ```if True:``` causes the program to not work.

This issue does not arise under Linux as far as I can tell (testing the same code).

Any explanation/fix would be helpful.
