Description

This has happened several times. Moved my "Roaming" profile to a new drive. If I reinstall the application will run, otherwise it just stops at the `Starting up keybase` screen.

Research direction

Start by reviewing log ID 8f7d5a08886ffb49ac303c1c and reproducing the startup failure after moving the “Roaming” profile to a new drive. Compare behavior before and after reinstalling the application; done means Keybase gets past the “Starting up keybase” screen without requiring a reinstall.
