Description

Keybase GUI Version: 4.4.1-20190909145404+b5f8897c2a

Suggestion to add file system integration on Windows 10 accepted, successfully installed Dokan, then got error that system cannot find K: and the app remains a blank, white screen, probably erroring behind the scenes. Minimizing and reopening or trying a different screen from the taskbar menu (which works fine) also produces just the white screen, indicating the routing or rendering process failed while everything else works fine.

Everything works fine after a restart and the K: drive is there.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Windows 10 failure after installing Dokan and enabling file system integration, then inspect the GUI routing or rendering path that leaves the window blank. Done means the K: drive mounts and the app remains usable after minimizing, reopening, or switching screens without requiring a restart.
