9A command is `@Claude` followed immediately by one of a few exact words starting with `!`. Claude matches the message against that word and runs a fixed action instead of starting a normal turn. `!help`, `!configure`, `!restart`, `!mute`, and `!unmute` must stand alone: adding extra words, as in `!restart` with words tacked on, makes the message an ordinary prompt instead. `!feedback`, `!routines`, and `!fork` accept text after the command, covered below.

4444You need the same access to run `!restart` that you'd need to message the session directly; someone who can only observe a thread can't restart it.

46## Check whether Claude is still working

48```text wrap theme={null}

50```
51
52Use this when Claude has gone quiet and you want to know whether it's still on the task before you follow up or [restart the session](#restart-a-stuck-or-wrong-context-session). Claude answers with a short note only you can see, and never posts that answer for others in the conversation. Checking doesn't interrupt work in progress or count as a new request. The note doesn't quote the conversation or say what Claude is working on.
53
54The note opens with a heading that says whether it covers this thread, this channel, or this DM, then gives Claude's status there:
55
56```text wrap theme={null}
57Claude in this thread
58I'm still working in this thread (started 6m ago).
59• Muted: no (mute with `!mute`)
60```
61
4662## Mute or unmute a thread
4763
4864```text wrap theme={null}
from line 81
6581@Claude !unmute
6682```
6783
68A muted thread also unmutes on any direct `@Claude` mention, so you don't need `!unmute` before asking something new.
84A muted thread also unmutes when you @-mention Claude there with a request, so you don't need `!unmute` before asking something new. Checking on Claude with [`!status`](#check-whether-claude-is-still-working) leaves the thread muted.

6 Microsoft has released a Windows update that fixes the issue where Cowork could not reach your files on Windows PCs. Install the latest Windows update and restart your PC. On Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2 the fix is [KB5129195](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/servicing/os/windows-11/2026/09/kb5129195-windows-11-24h2-25h2-security-update). No Claude Desktop update is needed.

8387<Update label="Known issue: Cowork on Windows" description="2026-09-10">
84 A Windows update released September 8, 2026 (including KB5124008) stops Cowork from reaching your files when it runs on your Windows PC, so tasks fail or the workspace does not start. This affects Cowork on third-party inference deployments and Cowork sessions that run on your computer rather than in the cloud. Cloud sessions and Claude Code, including the Code tab, are not affected. Chat cloud sessions are not affected, but Chat sessions on third-party inference deployments are affected if using advanced file analysis. The cause is a change in Windows, so restarting or reinstalling Claude does not help. We are investigating and working to resolve this as quickly as possible.

6363**How to resolve**
6464
651. @-mention Claude in the same thread to ask for a status check.
651. Send [`@Claude !status`](/docs/claude-tag/users/commands#check-whether-claude-is-still-working) in the same thread. Claude tells you, in a note only you can see, whether it's still working and for how long, without interrupting the work. If the note says Claude got disconnected, @-mention Claude in the thread and it picks up where it left off, with no restart needed.
66662. If the silence has stretched well past what the task should need, send [`@Claude !restart`](/docs/claude-tag/users/commands#restart-a-stuck-or-wrong-context-session) in the thread; it archives the session and starts a fresh one that still reads the thread. Starting a new thread and restating the request also works.
6767
6868<Warning>Restarting abandons whatever the session was midway through, and there's no way to resume it. A silent session may still be working through a long task, so treat `!restart` as a last resort.</Warning>

82Claude stops following that thread, and the rest of the channel is unaffected. This is the fix when one busy thread is the noise. The [`!mute` command](/docs/claude-tag/users/commands#mute-or-unmute-a-thread) goes further and silences the thread entirely; any direct `@Claude` mention turns it back on. A 👎 reaction on one of Claude's replies also mutes the thread, as [Thumbs-down reactions and muting](/docs/claude-tag/users/commands#thumbs-down-reactions-and-muting) describes.
