GnuPG 2.4.8 / Kleopatra Hanging - gpg --list-keys and keyboxd Unresponsive on Windows Server

[Alexander Kulbartsch]

Hello Niveditha!

From what you wrote in your detailed description I assume you
installed Gpg4win 4.4.1. But for automation you use the gpg CLI
tool.

Since that version a few fixes to the keyboxd were made. So I
recommend that you install a recent version. The current release
is 5.0.2.
(Don't mind the major release number change, the crypto is
fully compatible with the previous versions.)

If you are still on Windows Server 16, Gpg4win 4.4.1 was the
latest supported version, because of a QT bug for old Windows
versions. But you can use the recent CLI gpg version.

Another idea:
In case you started gpg with another user than usual one, the
socket files might have wrong rights. Try to delete them here:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\gnupg\S.*

Hope that helps!

Best regards
       Alexander
