What's Wrong?

claude-desktop-bug-reports.md

I've had to uninstall and reinstall Claude Code for desktop on my HP machine multiple times and now it's crashing faster and faster. I've used Claude to help diagnose and work through issues and it's not my config or my PC at all. Each time we clean everything up and then it just takes a little while for it to crash again and not be able to be repaired. It needs a complete re-install to get it working again and then it crashes soon afterwards.

What Should Happen?

My Claude Code desktop app shouldn't crash and be unfixable. It should be stable.
