What's Wrong?

The send/submit arrow button that previously appeared in the Code tab's text input area is no longer visible in the Windows desktop app. The button was present and working consistently until a computer reboot on 2026-04-11. No app update occurred — the app remains at version 1.1617.0.0 (Microsoft Store).

Only the microphone icon, model selector, and permission mode dropdown are visible in the input area. No send arrow. Users must press Enter to submit, with no clickable alternative.

Troubleshooting attempted (all failed):

  • Cleared GPUCache folder
  • Cleared all render caches (Cache, Code Cache, DawnGraphiteCache, DawnWebGPUCache)
  • Full app data reset (renamed %appdata%\Claude) — fresh app state, send button still missing

The full data reset proving the button is still absent with completely fresh app state suggests this is a server-side UI change, not a local issue.

What Should Happen?

A send arrow/button should appear in the Code tab input area (near the model selector dropdown), allowing users to click to submit their message — same as the Chat tab behavior. The Claude Code desktop docs reference this button: "pick a model from the dropdown next to the send button."

TL;DR

The missing send/submit arrow button in the Code tab's text input area may be due to a server-side UI change, and a potential workaround could be to check for updates or wait for a patch from the developers.

Guidance

  • Verify that the issue persists across different projects and branches to rule out any project-specific configuration issues.
  • Check the official Claude Code documentation or community forums for any announcements or discussions related to the missing send button.
  • Consider reaching out to the Claude Code support team to report the issue and ask about potential fixes or workarounds.
  • If the issue is confirmed to be a regression, try to find the last working version of the app and compare its behavior with the current version.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue seems to be related to a UI change rather than a code-specific problem.

Notes

The fact that the full data reset did not resolve the issue suggests that the problem might be server-side, but without more information from the developers, it's difficult to provide a definitive solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Wait for a patch or update from the developers, as the issue seems to be related to a server-side UI change.
