[BUG] Claude Desktop Crashing

What's Wrong?

After the most recent update to Claude Desktop, I am no longer able to use Code or Chat. If I launch on Cowork, it will let me use Cowork without crashing, but Chat or Code crash 5-10 seconds after switching to them. I have tried to diagnose the issue with online Claude, but have not been successful.

What Should Happen?

Claude should remain open and allow me to use the application.
