[BUG] Runtime Error: No Keys exist. Please run 'chia keys generate' or open the UI.

This is a Duplicate of #7099 which got automatically closed. the issue still persists on 1.2.5

Describe the bug I have a major issue, farming with chia. The Farmer won’t start reliably, this makes unattended farming impossible.

To Reproduce Execute batch script in order to start farmer:

cd C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\chia-blockchain\app-1.1.7\resources\app.asar.unpacked\daemon  
chia start farmer

Result (around 70% of tries):

Traceback (most recent call last): File “chia\server\start_farmer.py”, line 68, in <module> File “chia\server\start_farmer.py”, line 63, in main File “chia\server\start_farmer.py”, line 38, in service_kwargs_for_farmer File “chia\farmer\farmer.py”, line 73, in init RuntimeError: No keys exist. Please run ‘chia keys generate’ or open the UI. [10976] Failed to execute script start_farmer

Expected behavior farmer detects saved keys and starts apropriately

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10
• OS Version 20H2 Build 19042.1052
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 3600
• Chia Version: 1.2

Additional context The Keys are definitely there. The Gui will always start without any issue.

Executing the script again mostly resolves the issue. So the keys are definitely there.
