workaround is to add a command as a parameter. E.g., "claude /status".
Then you will be able to type again.
Claude is entering a peak period of bug growth.
Same, rendered program unusable. How do we go back versions.
Did you find a way around this? Cause I'm totally stuck now.
It worked to do a claude update, then it went back from 2.0.2 to 2.0.1.
Else, try to add a parameter e.g., "claude /status" then it worked as well in 2.0.2
.
Use 'claude update' - it will automatically downgrade from 2.0.2 to 2.0.1 - presumably this has been added as a workaround for now.
Tried the parameter option, tried going back to 2.0.1, neither worked. Unusable on windows now.
same here
Mention that there also new reports:

What a Joke! sonnet 4.5 works great but claude code freezes to make you unproductive.
This is still an issue in 2.0.5. Started a new session this morning (windows 10, windows terminal, powershell 7). Worked for about 30 min in that session without a problem. Finished that feature and exited Claude Code. Started claude again to start new work a few min later (same terminal window as before) and I can't type into the new session. Tab doesn't work, starting with claude /status doesn't work. Starting a new terminal window doesn't work.
I have the same issue on Ubuntu 25.10 using the Ptyxis terminal. Interestingly, it was working fine before, but even after rolling back to previous versions, the problem persists. I'm getting really frustrated because I can't use Claude Code. I also tried installing GNOME Terminal, but it had the same issue.

Have this in windows in 2.0.34 on a specific project. Hitting enter after opening makes it work.
Thanks a lot. It worked for me.
I'm observing this issue on Claude code 2.0.47 on Windows 11 with PowerShell 7.5.4 and Windows Terminal 1.23.12811.
Sometimes hitting enter doesn't help, but then hitting TAB does make it work again.
I think it mostly happens when I resume a conversation with hundreds of messages.
