"What's New" popup dismisses too quickly to read on Windows

Description
The "What's New" notification that appears when launching Claude Code after an update disappears after roughly 1-2 seconds -- not long enough to actually read the content.
Environment
- Claude Code v2.1.92
- Windows 11 Pro (ARM64) 10.0.26200
- Terminal: CMD with Solarized Light color palette (no custom prompt tools)
- Shell used by Claude Code: Git Bash (MSYS2/CLANGARM64)
Expected behavior
The "What's New" popup should remain visible long enough to read, or be dismissible manually (e.g., press any key to close).
Actual behavior
The popup appears briefly (~1-2 seconds) and auto-dismisses before the content can be read. There doesn't appear to be a way to view it again after dismissal.
