Description
When i restart my mac, I get a Keybase Install Error with the following description.
We were unable to load KBFS (Fuse kext). This may be due to a limitation in MacOS where there aren't any device slots available. Device slots can be taken up by apps such as VMWare, VirtualBox, anti-virus programs, VPN programs and Intel HAXM.
my log id: 774f1e479a7f299f7cb1001c
I have tried reinstalling the client, logging out and back in, without any luck. It is worth noting that the Finder Integration feature is not working since a while now and I cannot enable it from the app (it just won't enable)
Does anyone know how to get fix this issue?

Research direction
Start with log ID 774f1e479a7f299f7cb1001c and the KBFS (Fuse kext) loading path in the macOS client. Reproduce the restart failure while checking Finder Integration, then determine whether the reported device-slot limitation is involved. Done means the install error no longer appears and Finder Integration can be enabled.
