After installing a Claude update on Windows, the app cannot be relaunched. Windows reports a "file is being used by another program" error. Claude fails to start until reinstall or reboot.

Fix Action
Fix / Workaround
Workarounds Attempted
- Stopping CoworkVMService manually: Does not resolve — relaunching Claude restarts the service and the error recurs
- Reboot / reinstall: Works, but should not be necessary after a normal update

Environment
- Product: Claude for Windows (desktop app)
- Package:
Claude_1.2278.0.0_x64__pzs8sxrjxfjjc - Install type: MSIX/AppX (
C:\Program Files\WindowsApps) - OS: Windows
- Reproducibility: Repeats after updates
Summary
After installing a Claude update on Windows, the app cannot be relaunched. Windows reports a "file is being used by another program" error. Claude fails to start until reinstall or reboot.
Steps to Reproduce
- Claude is running
- Update installs
- Try to relaunch Claude
- Launch fails repeatedly
Observed Behavior
- AppX/AppModel launch failures with error 2147942432 (
0x80070020/ sharing violation) - Event ID 208 (Microsoft-Windows-AppModel-Runtime/Admin): Claude.exe launch fails
- Event ID 215: Desktop AppX container creation fails for the package
- Packaged service
CoworkVMServicestops/starts around the same timestamps but doesn't resolve the issue

2026-04-14 18:01:48 service startedKey Finding
The package registers a packaged Windows service:
- Service:
CoworkVMService(Display name: "Claude") - Type:
WIN32_PACKAGED_PROCESS - Startup:
AUTO_START - Account:
LocalSystem - Binary:
cowork-svc.exe - Declared in
AppxManifest.xmlaswindows.service
Hypothesis
Bug in the MSIX/AppX update path involving the packaged service CoworkVMService and the transition between old/new package container state. The service holds a lock that prevents AppX container creation for the new package version.
Workarounds Attempted
- Stopping CoworkVMService manually: Does not resolve — relaunching Claude restarts the service and the error recurs
- Reboot / reinstall: Works, but should not be necessary after a normal update
Relevant Logs
C:\ProgramData\Claude\Logs\cowork-service.log- Event Viewer:
Microsoft-Windows-AppModel-Runtime/Admin - Event Viewer:
Microsoft-Windows-AppXDeployment-Server/Operational - Event Viewer:
Application(provider: CoworkVMService)
Expected Behavior
Claude should update and relaunch normally without leaving the package in a broken state.
extent analysis
TL;DR
The issue can likely be fixed by properly stopping the CoworkVMService before updating Claude and ensuring it doesn't restart during the update process.
Guidance
- Investigate the
cowork-service.logfor any errors or indications of why the service might be holding onto resources, preventing the AppX container creation. - Attempt to stop the
CoworkVMServiceusing the Windows Service Manager or PowerShell before updating Claude, and verify if this allows the update to complete successfully without errors. - Consider modifying the service startup type to
DISABLEDorMANUALduring updates to prevent it from interfering with the update process. - Review the
AppxManifest.xmlto ensure the service declaration and configuration are correct and do not cause issues during updates.
Example
No specific code example is provided due to the nature of the issue, which seems related to service management and AppX packaging rather than code-level problems.
Notes
The exact solution might depend on the specifics of how CoworkVMService is implemented and its interactions with the Claude application and the AppX update process. Further investigation into the service's behavior and its role in the application's functionality is necessary.
Recommendation
Apply a workaround by stopping the CoworkVMService before updating Claude and ensure it remains stopped until the update is complete. This approach is chosen because it directly addresses the suspected root cause (the service holding a lock) without requiring a full understanding of the service's internal workings or making assumptions about the application's code.
