What's Wrong?

The Cowork and Claude Code tabs were present and usable in the Claude Desktop app, but they suddenly disappeared. I’m on macOS 14.3.1 (Apple Silicon) and Claude Desktop version 1.3036.0. I already tried updating, quitting and relaunching, signing out and back in, and reinstalling, with no change.

This is a Claude Pro subscription.

What Should Happen?

Cowork and Code tabs should appear as the top menu

extent analysis

TL;DR

The most likely fix is to investigate a potential regression in the Claude Desktop app version 1.3036.0 that caused the Cowork and Claude Code tabs to disappear.

Guidance

  • Review the changelog for version 1.3036.0 to identify any changes that may have caused the regression.
  • Check if other users with the same subscription (Claude Pro) and operating system (macOS 14.3.1) are experiencing the same issue.
  • Attempt to roll back to a previous version of the Claude Desktop app to verify if the issue is specific to version 1.3036.0.
  • Inspect the provided image for any visual cues or error messages that may indicate the cause of the issue.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the Apple Silicon architecture or the macOS 14.3.1 operating system, and further investigation is needed to determine the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Roll back to a previous version of the Claude Desktop app, as the issue is reported to be a regression and the previous version was working as expected.
