No update notification when already on the latest version, or at minimum, show which version the notification is referring to.

Additional Information

This is not a duplicate because previous reports have been closed and not addressed.

  • winget show Anthropic.Claude --versions shows the latest version as 1.9255.2, but I'm running 2.1.152
  • Appears to be a version numbering scheme change (1.x → 2.x) that may have broken the update checker
  • Notification is not blocking but appears on most launches
