What's Wrong?

Cowork tab is not showing on Windows — yukonSilver is marked as unsupported despite all virtualization features being enabled. This is a continuation of the bug originally reported in #25136, which was closed but not resolved for many users.

What Should Happen?

The Cowork tab should appear and yukonSilver should be recognized as supported on Windows 11 25H2 Build 26200 x64 with virtualization enabled.

Additional Information

This is the same bug as #25136 which was closed on Feb 13 but never actually fixed for Windows 11 Build 26200 users. The yukonSilver not supported error has been repeating in my logs since March 24, 2026 through every app update including the latest v1.3036.0. Many other users reported the same issue in #25136 after it was closed. OS Build confirmed via winver: Windows 11 25H2 Build 26200.
