Descripción

**Environment**
- Windows 10 Pro
- Claude Desktop installed via MSIX (x64)
- Cowork research preview

**The problem**
After a clean MSIX install, Cowork launches correctly. Then, without any update or trigger, it breaks with this error every 10-20 minutes:

"Virtualization is not available. Claude's workspace requires Virtual Machine Platform, but the virtualization service isn't responding."

Windows virtualization is healthy (vmcompute is Running). The problem is the vm_bundles folder becoming stale.

**The workaround**
Delete the vm_bundles folder and relaunch Claude. On an MSIX install the folder is at:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Claude_pzs8sxrjxfjjc\LocalCache\Roaming\Claude\vm_bundles

This is not documented anywhere. The path commonly cited (%APPDATA%\Claude\vm_bundles) does not exist on MSIX installs.

**Two requests**
1. Fix the underlying instability causing vm_bundles to go stale every 10-20 minutes
2. Document the correct vm_bundles path for MSIX installations
