Description

Keybase GUI Version: 6.0.1-20220609140211+0fc9feea3d

This used to work on my PC, Win10, but suddenly stopped opening.
When I try to open, this is shown, "Starting up Keybase...", but just sits there, forever, unless I click somewhere else on the screen and then it disappears. Not sure what's wrong. Tried to download and reinstall it, same thing. Win10 has all updates available installed. Very annoying as I don't wish to use my cell to communicate, which is why it's installed on my PC.

Related files open in Task Manager Processes:
kbfsdokan.exe
Keybase (5 times)
Keybase utility (2 times)

Lots of CPU/Memory/Disk resources available.

Open to any suggestions how to get it working again.
Thanks in advance,
DeeJay1969

Research direction

The issue names no source file, test, or entry point; begin by reproducing the Windows startup hang with Keybase GUI 6.0.1 and examining the startup path. Done means the desktop client opens normally instead of remaining on “Starting up Keybase...”.
