Additional Information

Additional troubleshooting already tried

  • Fully quit and relaunched the Claude Desktop app (not just closing the window)
  • Disconnected and reconnected the GitHub connector in Claude.ai account Settings → Connectors
  • Waited and retried after reconnecting
  • None of the above resolved the issue

Expected Behavior

  • OS: Windows
