Description

I just installed keybase on my windows 7 64 bit PC. I see the keybase icon on the taskbar but on trying to open it, it shows the message "Connecting UI services to crypto engine...This may take a few seconds" and stays that way.
I don't see any files in %appdata%\Keybase\logs\
In task manager I see 4 processes called Keybase and 2 called Keybase utility.
Please help

Research direction

Reproduce the Windows 7 64-bit installation and the hang at “Connecting UI services to crypto engine...”. Start by checking the Keybase and Keybase utility processes and the reported %appdata%\Keybase\logs\ path; done requires identifying why the UI cannot connect and confirming the client opens normally.
