What's Wrong?

Claude Desktop version: 1.3109.0
Windows version: Windows 11
Hardware: Surface Pro 11 (ARM/Snapdragon)

What's wrong:
Clicking the Code tab causes the window to crash silently with no error message. Chat and other tabs work fine. Only the Code tab crashes.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open Claude Desktop
  2. Click the Code tab
  3. App crashes immediately with no error code

What I've tried:

  • Fully quit and relaunched the app
  • Signed out and back in
  • Reinstalled Claude Desktop
  • Rolled back Claude Code CLI to v2.1.84 via npm
  • Removed duplicate npm installation (had both npm and native installs)
  • Updated to v1.3109.0 (the supposed fix)
  • Issue persists after all of the above

Note: The v1.3109.0 fix appears to have resolved this for macOS users but the issue persists on Windows ARM (Surface Pro 11/Snapdragon).

CLI works fine. Only the Desktop app Code tab is affected.

What Should Happen?

Should not exit when I enter Code. Chat works fine, but it should not silently crash and exit in Code.

Error Messages/Logs

It's a silent crash or exit from Code, no error codes are given.

Steps to Reproduce

I go into Claude desktop. Chat works fine. I go into Clause Code, and it silently exits without a error code or warning. If I go back into Clause Desktop and switch to Chat, it will crash one more time. Then if I go back in and stay in Chat then it won't crash. But it crashes silently in Code
