[BUG] Edit/Write tools hang silently on Windows 11 (v2.1.143)
Resolved 💬 4 comments Opened May 18, 2026 by BarcDevs Closed May 21, 2026
Environment
- OS: Windows 11 Home 10.0.26200
- Claude Code: v2.1.143 (latest)
- Shell: PowerShell / Bash
Bug
Edit and Write tools hang silently — no error, no output, no file changes.
Sessions freeze for 30+ minutes until manually stopped. On retry, sometimes
succeeds, mostly fails again.
Bash-based file operations (node, printf, sed) succeed on the same files.
Steps to reproduce
- Open any project on Windows 11 with v2.1.143
- Ask Claude to edit a file — Claude uses the Edit or Write tool
- Session hangs indefinitely, no error surfaced — must force-stop manually
Expected
Edit/Write tools modify the file and return success.
Actual
Tool hangs silently. No error reported. File unchanged. Only recovery is
manual stop + retry (non-deterministic — sometimes works, usually doesn't).
Bash workarounds work reliably.
Note
Issue #46767 describes a similar bug from April (v2.1.101). This appears to be
a regression or continuation of that bug in the latest release.
