  1. resolvedSep 14, 2026, 19:14 UTC

    This issue has been resolved. Microsoft has released a September 14 Windows update that fixes it: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/servicing/os/windows-11/2026/09/kb5129195-windows-11-24h2-25h2-security-update

  2. identifiedSep 10, 2026, 15:54 UTC

    A Windows update released September 8 has left Claude Cowork on Windows unable to run local commands, because its workspace can no longer reach your computer's drive. For most users, chat and file reading and editing still work. There's no in-app workaround yet, and restarting or reinstalling won't help. Microsoft has developed a fix and is working to release it. We'll post an update when we have more to share.
