Description
Today Windows 10 Pro system started bluescreening right and left; essentially any file system operation would result in a bluescreen ("KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE").

Research direction
Start with the Windows 10 reproduction and the WhoCrashed findings, then investigate the interaction between the Keybase filesystem and the Dokan driver. Done means determining whether Keybase filesystem operations trigger KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE and resolving or clearly documenting the cause.
