AFAIK it never worked on Windows, only on Linux. Can't make it work in current version, though. But the current doc says: The Color Picker Tool is used to select a color on any image opened on your screen. And for me this implicitly means "opened in Gimp", otherwise the picker would be able to pick any pixel on the screen, whether it belongs to an image or not.
