What's Wrong?
On Windows 11, the interactive trust dialog ('Yes, I trust this folder') does not respond to Enter/Space. Selecting 'No, exit' works fine.
Debug log error
Failed to save config with lock: Error: EEXIST: file already exists, mkdir 'C:\Users\navaneethp'
The mkdir call fails because the home directory already exists. This prevents saving the trust config, so 'Yes' appears to hang.
Environment
Windows 11 Enterprise 10.0.22631
Claude Code 2.1.69 (native install)
Affects: CMD, PowerShell 5.1, Git Bash--dangerously-skip-permissions also shows the trust prompt (does not bypass it)claude -p works fine (non-interactive)
What Should Happen?
Expected
Selecting 'Yes, I trust this folder' should save the trust config and enter interactive mode."
Error Messages/Logs
Steps to Reproduce
Go to a folder, Use Windows powershell, Type claude,
Following should appear:
Accessing workspace:
C:\Users\navaneethp
Quick safety check: Is this a project you created or one you trust? (Like your own code, a well-known open source project,
or work from your team). If not, take a moment to review what's in this folder first.
Claude Code'll be able to read, edit, and execute files here.
