What's Wrong?

The "Run now" ("Jetzt ausführen") action for scheduled/recurring Cowork tasks is greyed out and cannot be clicked — both from the "Scheduled" list on the home screen and from a task's edit view. This affects every scheduled task regardless of its cron expression or manual-only status.

The underlying scheduler itself still works correctly — tasks continue to run automatically at their configured times, and list_scheduled_tasks shows all tasks as enabled: true with recent lastRunAt timestamps. Only the manual "Run now" trigger in the UI is affected.

Environment

  • Claude Desktop version: _(fill in — Settings → About, or Help → About Claude)_
  • Windows version: _(fill in — e.g. Windows 11, winver)_
  • Platform: Windows (desktop Cowork app)
  • Affected since: approx. 2026-07-22 (last confirmed working run: 2026-07-21)
  • Reported: 2026-07-23

Affected Tasks

| Task ID | Schedule | Last confirmed working |
|---|---|---|
| P001 summarize clippings | Manual only | 2026-07-19 |
| P002 reddit feed vorbereitung | Daily, 07:07 AM | 2026-07-21 |
| P002 report reddit claudeai | Manual only | 2026-07-21 |
| P002 report reddit obsidianmd | Manual only | 2026-07-21 |

What Should Happen?

The "Run now" button should be clickable and immediately trigger a one-off manual run of the selected scheduled task, independent of its automatic schedule — as it did until at least 2026-07-21.
