What's Wrong?

Somehow the interface of my Claude has switched to the Mac version despite me being on Windows. I have only ever downloaded the windows version. Claude crashed earlier then up restart the whole interface had changed. Seeing the Command button instead of Control, the toggle to switch between Code/Cowork/Chat has moved to the top right, text in Code is blue now.

What Should Happen?

Well it should still be the windows version

TL;DR

The issue might be resolved by resetting the Claude Code interface settings to default or reinstalling the Windows version of Claude Code.

Guidance

  • Try resetting the Claude Code interface settings to default, if possible, to see if it reverts back to the Windows version.
  • Check if there are any settings or configuration files that might be causing the interface to switch to the Mac version.
  • If the issue persists, consider reinstalling the Windows version of Claude Code to ensure a clean setup.
  • If you can reproduce the crash, try to capture any error messages or logs that might help identify the cause of the issue.
