PGP might be skipping the trust database check. You can do the same but GnuPG 
will prompt you to run --check-trustdb from time to time (like when new keys 
are imported or existing ones refreshed) so that might be something to do via 
cron or Task Scheduler (if that still exists on Windows).

I use no-auto-check-trustdb in gpg.conf and 
gpg --check-trustdb 
in cron, at least once a week, plus manual --update-trustdb to catch up with 
new keys with no user trust level (which check- won't do).
