Description
Computer Use previously worked in the Windows desktop app: on September 8, 2026, I used it to control a software.
On September 9, the plugin was no longer visible. Searching for “computer” in Plugins returns “No plugins found”. Mentioning @Computer in the conversation does not make desktop control available.
Windows updates were installed around the same time, but I do not know whether they are related.
Expected behavior:
Computer Use should remain available, or the app should explain why it is unavailable and how to restore it.
Actual behavior:
The plugin is missing from the search results, with no installation or enable option.
I have already submitted feedback through the app.

Could you check why the plugin disappeared and advise how to restore it?

Determine why Computer Use is unavailable and verify that it either returns to the plugin search or that the app explains its unavailable state and restoration steps.
