Description
Claude Desktop app repeatedly and persistently requires re-signing in — session/auth does not stick. This is a long-standing, ongoing problem, not a one-time glitch.
Impact
Constant re-authentication makes the desktop app effectively unusable as a reliable tool — significant friction every time it's opened.
Environment
- Platform: Windows 11 Pro
Request
Please investigate why auth sessions aren't persisting in Claude Desktop on Windows, and fix session persistence so users aren't repeatedly forced to sign back in.
