What's Wrong?
Description
On Windows 11, the "Use Incognito" icon in the top-right corner of the Claude Desktop app is positioned too close to (or partially overlaps with) the standard Windows window control buttons. This makes it difficult to toggle Incognito mode without accidentally clicking the "Close" or "Minimize" buttons.
Environment
- OS: Windows 11
- App Version: Claude 1.7196.0 (2dbd78) 2026-05-12T05:34:40.000Z
Steps to Reproduce
- Open Claude Desktop on a Windows 11 machine.
- Observe the top-right corner of the application window.
- Attempt to click the "Incognito" icon.
Expected Behavior
The Incognito icon should have sufficient padding from the Windows system controls to prevent misclicks and ensure visual clarity.
Actual Behavior
The icon is overlapping or nearly touching the system "Close" button.

What Should Happen?
The Incognito icon should have sufficient padding from the Windows system controls to prevent misclicks and ensure visual clarity.

Workaround for now:
Ctrl+Shift+i.I have this issue as well.
Also, with Fin opened none of the buttons are then clickable as per the attached image

Workaround found: You can open Incognito mode using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+I instead of clicking the overlapping button.
