TL;DR

The "Claude Cowork" tab is missing after updating to the latest version of Claude Code, suggesting a potential regression issue.

Guidance

  • Verify that the "Claude Cowork" feature is enabled in the application settings, if available.
  • Check for any updates or patches for version 2.1.71 that may address this regression.
  • Attempt to reset the application to its default settings to see if the "Claude Cowork" tab reappears.
  • If the issue persists, try reinstalling the application to ensure a clean setup.

Notes

The lack of error messages or logs makes it difficult to pinpoint the exact cause, and without knowing the last working version, it's challenging to identify the regression point.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try resetting the application settings or reinstalling the application, as these steps are non-invasive and may resolve the issue without waiting for a potential update.
