  • [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?

OS: Windows 10 Pro (upgraded from Home)
Claude Desktop version: 1.1.7053.0 (MSIX install)

Error: HRESULT 0x80370102 - HYPERVISOR_SERVICE_ERROR

What works:

  • Hyper-V fully enabled (all components)
  • vmms and vmcompute services: Running
  • CoworkVMService: Running (LocalSystem)
  • HypervisorPlatform: Enabled
  • bcdedit hypervisorlaunchtype: Auto
  • Test VM created manually with New-VM successfully
  • vm_bundles folder downloads correctly

What fails:

  • VM boot fails with "Hyper-V não está instalado no host"
  • App installs as MSIX even when using direct .exe installer
  • vm_bundles path mismatch: app looks in %APPDATA%\Roaming\Claude but files are in MSIX package path

Log error:
HCS operation failed: HRESULT 0x80370102
Cannot create system 'cowork-vm' because Hyper-V is not installed on the host

What Should Happen?

Cowork should detect that Hyper-V is fully functional and successfully boot the VM without errors. The app should also correctly handle MSIX install paths for vm_bundles.
