[BUG] Bash commands produce no output on Windows 11
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
- [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
- [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code
What's Wrong?
Platform: Windows 11 Enterprise 10.0.26100, Claude Code 2.1.116
Issue: Bash commands are executing but producing zero output in both the ! <command> prompt interface and the direct
Bash tool API. Even simple commands like echo "hello" or pwd that should always produce output return nothing.
Steps to reproduce:
- Run ! echo "hello" in the Claude Code prompt
- Run ! pwd in the Claude Code prompt
- Observe: both return "(Bash completed with no output)" with no stdout or stderr
Expected behavior: echo "hello" should print "hello", pwd should print the current working directory
Environment details:
- Platform: win32-x64
- Shell: bash
- Package manager: winget
- Current working directory is a valid path: C:\Users\lucresia\version
- Directory is not a git repository
Additional context: This affects both the user-facing ! <command> interface and the internal Bash tool—suggesting the
issue is in the underlying bash execution layer, not the UI wrapper.
⎿ /feedback is not available when using Amazon Bedrock. Report issues at

※ recap: Found that bash commands on this Windows system produce no output, even basic ones like echo. Next step is to
report this as a bug using /feedback. (disable recaps in /config)
What Should Happen?
Bash commands are executing but producing zero output in both the ! <command> prompt interface and programmatic tool
calls. Even simple commands like echo "hello" or pwd return nothing.
Steps to reproduce:
- Run ! echo "hello" in Claude Code
- Run ! pwd in Claude Code
- Observe: "(Bash completed with no output)" with no stdout or stderr
****Expected behavior:
- echo "hello" → prints "hello"
- pwd → prints the current working directory****
Environment:
- Platform: Windows 11 Enterprise (10.0.26100)
- Claude Code: 2.1.116
- Backend: Amazon Bedrock
- Shell: bash
- Working directory: C:\Users\lucresia\version
Additional context:
This affects both the user-facing ! <command> interface and the internal Bash tool API, suggesting the issue is in the underlying bash execution layer, not the UI wrapper.

This looks like it could be a PATH issue or bash configuration problem specific to Bedrock on Windows. The GitHub
issue will get routed to the right team to debug.
