What's Wrong?

What's Wrong?
The Cowork tab has disappeared from the Claude Desktop app navigation after an auto-update. It was previously visible and accessible. Only the Chat tab is now shown. No error message is displayed.

Expected Behaviour
The Cowork tab should be present and accessible in the top navigation bar alongside Chat.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Launch Claude Desktop app v1.3883.0 on Windows 11 Pro
  2. Observe that the Cowork tab is completely absent from the navigation
  3. No error message is displayed — the tab is simply not there
  4. Restarting the app does not resolve the issue

Environment

  • App version: 1.3883.0 (93ff6c)
  • OS: Windows 11 Pro
  • Interface: Claude Desktop App
  • Subscription: Pro

Additional Notes
Cowork was working previously and disappeared after an auto-update. Full app restart has been attempted — issue persists.

What Should Happen?

Claude should debug and restore Cowork functionality
