### Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched [existing issues](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3Abug) and this hasn't been reported yet
- [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
- [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code
### What's Wrong?
After the PC suspends and resumes, relaunching Claude Desktop fails with "Another program is currently using this file," referencing a file under the MSIX package path. Root cause traced to cowork-svc.exe (CoworkVMService) holding a lock that a plain taskkill/process-kill does not release — consistent with the file-lock behavior reported in #48787, #49655, and #46179, but triggered by suspend/resume rather than an app update.
Additional finding (may be useful beyond this specific bug): Attempted to build a workaround that auto-restarts the service on resume. Two standard Windows resume-detection mechanisms were tested and neither fired on this Modern Standby system:
Windows Event Log, System channel, source Microsoft-Windows-Power-Troubleshooter, Event ID 1 — task never triggered across multiple confirmed suspend/resume cycles.
.NET SystemEvents.PowerModeChanged (the WM_POWERBROADCAST-based resume notification) — confirmed listener was running before resume; no event fired after resume.
This suggests any internal Anthropic logic for detecting resume-from-sleep (if used to restart CoworkVMService, refresh VM state, etc.) may also be unreliable on Modern Standby hardware, since these are the standard OS-level signals apps use for that purpose.
### What Should Happen?
File lock should be released for cleanly closing the Claude's VM
### Error Messages/Logs
```shell
```
### Steps to Reproduce
Steps to Reproduce:
Install Claude Desktop on Windows via the Microsoft Store/MSIX installer (not the legacy Electron installer).
Ensure Cowork is enabled and has been used at least once, so CoworkVMService is registered and running (cowork-svc.exe).
Confirm the system uses Modern Standby: run powercfg /a in an elevated Command Prompt — it should list Standby (S0 Low Power Idle) as supported and Standby (S3) as not supported.
With Claude Desktop closed (or open), suspend the PC (Start → Power → Sleep, or close the lid if a laptop).
Resume the PC.
Attempt to open Claude Desktop.
Expected result: App opens normally.
Actual result: Error dialog: "Another program is currently using this file", referencing a path under C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Claude__....
To confirm the root cause is CoworkVMService:
7. Open Task Manager / PowerShell, and note that cowork-svc.exe is still running after the error appears.
8. Force-killing just claude.exe does not resolve the error; the file lock persists until CoworkVMService itself is stopped (net stop CoworkVMService) and restarted.

Línea de trabajo
Start by reproducing the suspend/resume sequence on a Windows Modern Standby system, confirming S0 support with `powercfg /a` and checking whether cowork-svc.exe still holds the MSIX file lock. Investigate the CoworkVMService resume and shutdown lifecycle; done means Claude Desktop relaunches successfully after resume without requiring the service to be manually stopped and restarted.
