Description
When attempting to open the KBFS Explorer folder from the Keybase GUI, I get the following popup error.
I have just uninstalled the old Dokan, rebooted and installed the new one as prompted by Keybase. The K: drive is unavailable when I go to it directly in Explorer.
Keybase GUI Version: 4.3.2-20190819141105+b1c5c7c912

Research direction
The report concerns the Windows KBFS Explorer path, the K: drive, and Dokan after replacing the old Dokan installation; no source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the failure with Keybase GUI 4.3.2 and inspect the Windows KBFS/Dokan integration. Done means the Explorer folder opens and the K: drive is available without the reported error.
