What's Wrong?

Cowork workspace is stuck in an initialization loop—the progress bar is either fronze at 0% or get stuck at any random %. This started yesterday.

I restarted the app and laptop with no luck.

Using Claude for Windows x64. Version 1.2278.0 (e5213f)

What Should Happen?

Claude should finalize setting up the workspace upon opening.
