Apparently "Recommended" is a long-standing option which basically makes
the Regional Format match your Display Language. On the errant box the
Display Language was set to English (US).
Setting the Display Language to English (Canada) resolves the issue.
Summary of the behaviour (I believe, requires further verification):
- Regional format: English Canada --> works
- Regional format: Recommended / Display Language: English Canada --> works
- Regional format: Recommended / Display Language: English US --> fails
(currency selection list is empty)
Not sure why this could be. I will verify on a couple of other boxes and
file a bug if appropriate.

Yes, that's where there is at least a distinction between the two OS
installs.
On the working system, Regional Format is set to "English (Canada)"
On the problem system, it's set to "Recommended"
I've never noticed "Recommended" as an option in that field before. It
shows at the very top of the drop-down list. Could it be new?

Try checking the LOCALE details on the one that didn't work as expected.

I happened to install Gnucash for two users in the last 24 hours,
both GC 5.17 on Win Pro 11. I should add that I have installed
Gnucash 50+ times on lots of platforms.
The second, an HP Transformable, worked as expected.
The first, a Beelink NUC, displayed an empty list in the step
choosing the book default currency. I was able to type "CAD" and
continue to normal completion, but I haven't yet tried actually
using the app.
Pretty sure I got the installer from the same source for both
installs. I don't see anything out of whack with the errant OS.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
