51* **Claude Science still asks you to update**: on a Mac where Claude Science opens in its own window, quit it with Command-Q, wait ten seconds, then open it from your **Applications** folder. Anywhere else, run `claude-science stop` in a terminal (on a Mac or Linux, if the command isn't found, type `~/.local/bin/claude-science stop`), quit Claude Science if you're on a Mac, then open it again. If `claude-science stop` says "Not killing pid", follow [the terminal steps](#from-a-terminal-or-on-a-server).
52* **The message says "restart aborted"**: follow [restart aborted](/docs/claude-science/troubleshooting#restart-aborted).
53* **On Windows, an update said "restart aborted" or "The update is installed"**: don't quit Claude Science or run `claude-science stop`, and don't shut down or restart your PC, or sign out of Windows. Letting your PC sleep doesn't close Claude Science. If security software is blocking the new version, Claude Science might not open again. Select **Update now** or **Restart to update** again after a few minutes. If it still fails, ask your IT team whether security software is blocking Claude Science, and send them [Where the app stores data](/docs/claude-science/manage-on-devices#where-the-app-stores-data). If you don't have an IT team, contact [Claude support](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/9015913-how-to-get-support).
54* **Claude Science still asks you to update**: on Windows, if an update said "restart aborted" or "The update is installed", follow the entry above instead. On a Mac where Claude Science opens in its own window, quit it with Command-Q, wait ten seconds, then open it from your **Applications** folder. Anywhere else, run `claude-science stop` in a terminal (on a Mac or Linux, if the command isn't found, type `~/.local/bin/claude-science stop`), quit Claude Science if you're on a Mac, then open it again. If `claude-science stop` says "Not killing pid", follow [the terminal steps](#from-a-terminal-or-on-a-server).
55* **The message says "restart aborted"**: on a Mac or Linux, if you started Claude Science from a terminal, follow [the terminal steps](#from-a-terminal-or-on-a-server). Otherwise, follow [restart aborted](/docs/claude-science/troubleshooting#restart-aborted).
5356* **Anything else**: on a Mac where Claude Science opens in its own window, contact [Claude support](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/9015913-how-to-get-support) with your version and the exact words you see. Anywhere else, [install Claude Science again](#install-claude-science-again), and contact support if that doesn't work.

90On the "Update available" notice, this means the new version was downloaded but didn't start. If Claude Science is still running, it's the version you had, and you can try again: select **Check for updates** under **Settings > General > About**, then select **Restart to update** there. If Claude Science has stopped, start it again.

92On Linux, an update to version 0.1.61 ends this way on a computer where bubblewrap or socat came from conda, Homebrew, or a folder in your home directory, because version 0.1.61 needs both installed for the whole system. Version 0.1.62 withdraws that requirement, so trying again as above now gets a version that starts. If Claude Science won't start at all, run `claude-science update` in a terminal, then start it again.
