What's Wrong?

We install Claude Cowork in a Azure Virtual Desktop with multisession support.
Installation works fine.
After Claude start ther is an Error:
Fehler beim Starten von Claudes Arbeitsbereich

Ein Neustart von Claude oder deinem Computer behebt dies manchmal. Falls das Problem weiterhin besteht, kannst du den Workspace neu installieren.

After clicking "den Workspace neu installieren" it works for a few minutes, then again the same error.
