Descrizione
**What's wrong?**
Claude Desktop repeatedly fails to launch on Windows. A Windows message box appears: "Ein anderes Programm greift gerade auf diese Datei zu" ("Another program is currently using this file"), pointing at the package install path. There is no actual file lock — the failure is AppX/Desktop-Bridge container creation returning 0x80070020 (ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION).
**Package:** Claude_1.46388.3.0_x64__pzs8sxrjxfjjc
**OS:** Windows (German locale)
**Last occurrence:** 2026-09-04 21:13
**Event log (Microsoft-Windows-AppModel-Runtime/Admin), same second, repeating:**
- Event ID 208 — 0x80070020: process for package Claude_1.46388.3.0_x64__pzs8… could not be started
- Event ID 215 — 0x80070020: Desktop AppX container for package Claude_1.46388.3.0_x64__pzs8… could not be created (job-to-silo conversion)
- Event IDs 210/211/217 — container created / process assigned / container terminated, interleaved with the failures
**What I tried**
- Killed all package processes via elevated PowerShell (claude.exe, ClaudeDesktop.exe, CoworkVMService.exe, node.exe and the whole descendant tree). Launch still fails with the same error.
- `Get-AppxPackage *Claude* | Reset-AppxPackage` — did not resolve it, and it wipes local app state (login, config).
- Only a logoff/reboot reliably recovers. Not a one-off; it recurs, typically after package updates.
**Expected**
The app should not leave an orphaned Silo/Job object behind when it crashes or is updated. Activation failing with 0x80070020 should self-heal by terminating the stale container job members and retrying, instead of requiring a reboot.
**Also:** the user-facing message is misleading. "Another program is currently using this file" sends users hunting for file locks that do not exist.
**Related:** #53247, #61115, #66497, #73107 — same root cause, still reproducible on 1.46388.3.0.
