Description

Keybase GUI Version: 1.0.16-20160713110836+a1c00b3

Here is a copy of the Windows Logs / System:

The process C:\Users\MYUSER\AppData\Local\Temp{F36C4DE3-13A8-4897-B12D-59749802E2C9}.cr\DokanSetup_redist.exe (MYPCDOMAINNAME) has initiated the restart of computer MYPCDOMAINNAME on behalf of user MYPCDOMAINNAME\MYUSER for the following reason: Application: Installation (Planned)
Reason Code: 0x80040002
Shut-down Type: restart
Comment:

This caused my computer to random reboot. Maybe its due to the fact that I was typing while the program installed and the popup dialog that asked if its ok to reboot must have gotten activated? I presume there was meant to be a popup. However I suggest you don't "focus" the "control" that is the "yes" button. Other than that don't focus the form is another option.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Windows GUI installation flow and the reported DokanSetup_redist.exe invocation, using the Windows System log details as the reproduction target. Confirm whether installation can restart the computer without an explicit user choice, and verify that the unexpected reboot no longer occurs.
