claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [BUG] Code tab send button completely unresponsive on Windows 11 [3 comments, 2 participants]

Preflight Checklist

• I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
• This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
• I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

The send button in the Code tab does nothing. Clicking the arrow, pressing Enter, and Ctrl+Enter all fail silently. The input field accepts text but nothing sends. Chat and Cowork tabs work fine. Claude in terminal works fine. Only the Code tab GUI is broken.

What Should Happen?

Typing a message in the Code tab and pressing Enter, Ctrl+Enter, or clicking the send arrow should submit the message and get a response from Claude, the same way it works in the Chat tab and in the terminal.

This is a fresh install on a laptop. Claude Code CLI was not pre-installed. Installed Node.js v24.15.0 via winget, then installed claude-code via npm. Authentication works (claude command works in terminal). Only the desktop app Code tab GUI is broken.
