What's Wrong?
Cowork tab never appears. The app shows "reinstall to use Cowork"
but reinstalling does not fix it.
Environment
- OS: Windows 11 Pro, Build 26200 (stable 25H2, no Insider enrollment)
- App version: 1.1.6452 (Squirrel install)
- Arch: x64
What I checked
- All local files present: cowork-svc.exe (10.6 MB), smol-bin.x64.vhdx (36 MB)
- WindowsSelfHost registry keys: BranchName, Ring, ContentType all empty
- Subscription: Pro
What Should Happen?
Expected behavior
Cowork tab should appear and VM should start.
