As a work around I have been copying 2.1.74 over claude.exe as I was fortunate enough to still have it on my machine when this started, and disable auto-update:
copy C:\Users\<user>\.local\share\claude\versions\2.1.74 C:\Users\<user>\.local\bin\claude.exe
What Should Happen?
Claude should just start.
