[Bug] Windows 11 winget upgrade fails, requires uninstall and reinstall

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Mar 20, 2026 by avi12 Closed Mar 23, 2026

Bug Description
I always have upgrade issues on Win11 Pro via PowerShell 7.5.4
The only way to ensure that an update goes smooth is by running winget uninstall Anthropic.ClaudeCode and then winget install Anthropic.ClaudeCode --force via an admin PowerShell
If I don't run this exact install command, when I try to execute claude I get

PS C:\Users\Avi> claude
claude: The term 'claude' is not recognized as a name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or executable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
