The "recon" feature writes a YUV or Y4M raw video file that contains the reconstructed video which has been decoded right after encoding it, so you can compare the compression results with the original source (assuming it was a YUV or Y4M file too) without calling an additional decoder. It is available independently of VMAF functions linked into x265 – which may still be possible only under Linux, I believe; are you sure your Windows build contains any VMAF comparison code? The build script source\CMakeLists.txt contains the check clearly in a "if(UNIX)" block.
