  • I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

The bug is that the Claude setting "Run on Startup" doesn't appear to work properly. I try to turn it off but it gets turned back on immediately by Claude. I have tried every trick in the book - as suggested by Claude - to make sure there are no other settings on my system which would cause this setting to be set to on.

What Should Happen?

The setting "Run on Startup" should be turned off - and stay off.

Error Messages/Logs

Steps to Reproduce

Quite simple:

  1. Go to settings
  2. Turn off "Run on Startup"
  3. Get out of settings.
  4. Go back in and you'll notice that "Run on Startup" is turned on.

Additional Information

To be honest - I don't understand some of the questions you ask such as:

  • Which API platform are you using?
  • Which terminal/Shell are you using?

extent analysis

TL;DR

The "Run on Startup" setting in Claude Code may be overridden by another configuration or default behavior, causing it to revert to "on" after being turned off.

Guidance

  • Investigate if there are any other settings or configurations in Claude Code or the operating system that could be causing the "Run on Startup" setting to be overridden.
  • Check for any default or automatic settings in Claude Code that might be resetting the "Run on Startup" option to "on" after it's been turned off.
  • Try resetting Claude Code to its default settings to see if the issue persists, which could help determine if the problem is specific to the current configuration.
  • Consider reaching out to the Claude Code support team for further assistance, as the issue might be specific to the version (1.2581.0) or platform (Windows) being used.

Notes

The issue seems to be specific to the interaction between Claude Code and the user's system settings. Without more detailed logs or error messages, it's challenging to provide a precise fix. The user's uncertainty about the regression status and last working version also limits the ability to pinpoint the cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Given the information provided, it seems that working around the issue by manually adjusting settings or seeking support might be the most viable option until a more definitive solution can be found.
