What's Wrong?
This is random but occurs frequently. I will use Claude Desktop app for Windows for 2 or 3 hours straight. I go to check my email and come back and everything is gone. Just the desktop app frame is gone. No information inside the app. Usually, I go to my systems tray and just kill claude and restart it. That will work for maybe 2 or 3 times. But eventually, it won't restart properly. If I click the claude icon in the system tray, a simple large search box appears at the top of my screen. Then I have to go in and kill the application in Task Manager. Then it will restart properly. But who knows for how long. LOL... while I was over here typing this, Claude froze again and now there are 2 claude icons in the system tray. This is crazy.
What Should Happen?
It shouldn't crash at all.
