Summary
After Claude Desktop updated to 2.110.0 on Windows, the Code entry point is no longer a clear top-level tab. It is now a tiny </> icon in the top-left toolbar, next to an equally small chat icon. As a daily Claude Code user on a Max plan, I could not find it and assumed Code had been removed from my account.
Environment
- OS: Windows (x64)
- Claude Desktop: 2.110.0 (MSIX), updated from 1.52386.6
- Plan: Max (individual)
What happened
- On 1.52386.6 the home composer showed only Chat | Cowork; there was no visible way to open Code.
- Reinstalling and signing out/in did not help (similar reports: #93851, #92587, #86576).
- After updating to 2.110.0, Code became reachable only through the small
</>icon in the top-left toolbar. There was no notice explaining where it moved.
Request
- Make Code as visible as Chat and Cowork (a labeled tab or mode option), or
- Show a one-time notice after the update explaining where Code moved.
Many users in the issues above appear to believe Code was removed from their accounts, so this is likely generating avoidable support load.
