Description

while doing the usual:
- nuking my (sledgehammering) my accounts keys (lost some stuff 😢 )
- generating a new one via the console with **keybase pgp gen**
- i get an error message like:

```
Enter your real name, which will be publicly visible in your new key: Dean Van Greunen
Enter a public email address for your key: deanvg9000@gmail.com
Enter another email address (or when done):
Push an encrypted copy of your new secret key to the Keybase.io server? [Y/n] Y
When exporting to the GnuPG keychain, encrypt private keys with a passphrase? [Y/n] Y
- INFO PGP User ID: Dean Van Greunen [primary]
- INFO Generating primary key (4096 bits)
- INFO Generating encryption subkey (4096 bits)
- ERROR Operation timed out

```

Research direction

Start with the `keybase pgp gen` console flow on Windows 10 Pro x86 and inspect the report associated with log ID 75eee5c62310d7aea952fb1c. Reproduce the timeout during primary-key or encryption-subkey generation, then determine what is needed for key generation and export to complete successfully.
