--no-secmem-warning does only work on system which are capable of locking memory. There is currently no easy way to do this under Windows and I considere to remove this message for Windows. Even with a (free) device driver which can be used to protect memory it might not make sense at all, given all the other ways to snoop on Windows memory or break into the system.
