[BUG] Claude Desktop opening when running "claude" in Powershell ( Windows )

Preflight Checklist

• [x] I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
• [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
• [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

When typing claude in the command line on Windows, the claude code cli no longer opens. Instead I get:

(node:11048) [DEP0180] DeprecationWarning: fs.Stats constructor is deprecated.
(Use `Claude --trace-deprecation ...` to show where the warning was created)

And it opens Claude Desktop instead.

This just starting happening after installing Cowork for Windows.

What Should Happen?

Claude Code should successfully open its TUI interface. Claude Cowork / Desktop should not open.
