Description
Keybase GUI Version: 1.0.25-20170714173029+acae5b0
My organization pushed some Windows Updates on my machine (I am not sure which) and now when I run keybase pgp decrypt -i somefile.gpg -o otherfile.txt I get just the blinking cursor in the new line and no output, no errors. I do not get the prompt from the desktop app to input my passphrase.
This works fine on a Windows 10 machine I just tested on.
Not sure if this is helpful, I have no further details on this. If the information is insufficient, just close this.
Thanks.
