Research direction
Start by reviewing the tf-models-official dependency on tensorflow-text and the linked Windows-support discussion. Done means either removing tensorflow-text as a formal dependency for Windows users or restoring Windows support, but the issue does not identify files or tests.

Description
Hi,
I am running on a windows machine and need to install tf-models-official (version 2.13) for computer vision purposes (nothing to do w/ TF Text). However, tf-models-official has tensorflow-text as a dependency. Since there is currently no support for tensorflow-text in windows (see here), this is screwing up my whole setup
tf-models-official is a big-tent package with a lot of different unrelated use cases - and currently tensorflow-text is screwing up its use on all Windows machines. This is really a crappy situation that should be remedied.
I propose either tensorflow-text stops being a formal requirement for tf-models-official OR tensorflow-text starts offering windows support again.
(For anyone wondering, I had to install tf-models-official in pip using the --no-deps parameter and then installed each of the other dependencies one-by-one - very hacky solution)
Thanks,
Roman
