Description

The embedded Dokan 1.0.4.84 driver is being blocked by Windows as it claims it's unsigned.

After removing the Dokan driver and installing 1.0.3.1000 from https://github.com/dokan-dev/dokany/releases, KBFS appears to work just fine.

Research direction

Start with the embedded Dokan 1.0.4.84 driver used by KBFS and compare it with Dokan 1.0.3.1000, which the report says works after installation. Reproduce the Windows unsigned-driver block using log id 0218c8ea21826d44433a0a1c; done means KBFS installs or updates the embedded driver without the unsigned warning.
