Description

After updating I was prompted that I would need to restart my computer, as per usual I declined the prompt and went back to what I was doing. Only to be interrupted about an hour later with a shutdown attempted by the keybase client on my behalf, while I was doing work.

Research direction

Start by tracing the Windows client update and restart flow described in the issue, since no source file or test is named. Reproduce an update where the restart prompt is declined; the fix is complete when the client does not attempt to shut down the computer without renewed user consent.
