Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported Keybase GUI startup failure using Keybase GUI 6.0.1 on Windows 11, with KBFS mapped to X:. Confirm that KBFS remains accessible while the GUI stays at “Starting up Keybase...” and that a restart or shutdown can trigger the problem; done means the GUI starts normally after those conditions.
