What's Wrong?
Bug: Sessions not appearing in sidebar on Windows
App version: Claude 1.4758.0 (fb266c) — 2026-04-24T20:22:30.000Z
OS: Windows (username with space: Marcio trabalho)
Extension: anthropic.claude-code 2.1.120
---
Description
Sessions created via the Claude Desktop app (entrypoint: claude-desktop) are not displayed in the sidebar under "Recents" or "Projects". The sessions are being saved correctly to disk at ~/.claude/projects/ and ~/.claude/sessions/, but the UI does not read or display them.
What Should Happen?
Expected behavior
Sessions created via Claude Desktop should appear in the sidebar under Recents and Projects.
Actual behavior
Sidebar is always empty. Sessions are only accessible via claude --resume in the terminal.

What I found
Sessions exist on disk:
~/.claude/projects/contains 14 JSONL files with 394 turns across 10 sessions~/.claude/sessions/3768.jsonexists withentrypoint: claude-desktop
Error in main.log (repeated dozens of times on startup):
[error] [uncaught exception in main]: Error: Expected lock to be held for topic uss-artifactReview
at ZGe._getOrCreateTopic (main.js:4584:23557)
at ZGe.pushUpdate (main.js:4584:24335)
App data location:
- App installed at:
C:\Users\Marcio trabalho\AppData\Local\Programs\Antigravity\ - App data at:
C:\Users\Marcio trabalho\AppData\Roaming\Antigravity\ - No
claude-code-sessionsfolder was ever created by the app
---
Hypothesis
The repeated Expected lock to be held for topic uss-artifactReview error on startup may be corrupting the internal state that populates the sidebar with recent sessions. The username containing a space (Marcio trabalho) may also be a contributing factor.
