Research direction

Start by reviewing the attached Keybase_20171009180529.log and reproducing the "display in explorer" flow on Windows 10. Check why the folder API opens instead of being saved or repaired; done means the Explorer action completes without opening the wrong folder or stopping at the reported error.
