Description

I'm running on a Thinkpad T430 with Windows 10. Task Manager shows Keybase processes running after I start Keybase, but nothing pops up. Reinstalling Keybase did not help. I have Keybase on 3 other devices and it works on those. It also works from a Chrome browser, just not from the installed app on the Thinkpad. Adding 4 GB RAM did not help.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the launch failure on Windows 10 with the installed Keybase app, using log ID 1f2dc460b15aac0088aef61c. Compare the installed app with the working Chrome experience and determine which startup behavior prevents a window from appearing; done means the app launches normally on the ThinkPad.
