1717On each device, the user signs in to Claude Desktop once. The app recognizes that the account belongs to a third-party deployment, downloads the configuration that applies to that user, and asks the user to restart. After the restart, the app runs in third-party mode. It sends model requests to your inference provider, as it does with MDM or bootstrap delivery.

19While the app runs, it re-checks the configuration on a timer. When you save a change, the app downloads it at the next check and asks the user to relaunch, as described under [Configuration updates](#configuration-updates). You don't push an MDM profile or run a bootstrap server.

168Usage analytics lets your administrators see how much each user uses Chat, Cowork, and Code in Claude Desktop. Usage analytics is off by default. A member with the Owner or Primary Owner role can turn it on: open **Organization settings**, go to the **Telemetry & updates** page under **Desktop 3P**, and turn on the **Report desktop usage to this organization** switch. If your organization needs HIPAA compliance, don't turn on the switch.

170172Claude Desktop 1.46388.1 and later report usage. While the switch is on, each user's app counts its Chat, Cowork, and Code activity. The app sends the counts to Anthropic every few minutes during use and when it quits. A running app starts or stops reporting at its next configuration check (every 10 minutes by default), without a relaunch. Anthropic stores the counts for your organization and ties each report to the user's Claude account.

172174The counts appear on the **Desktop usage** page. To open the page, click **Analytics** in the user menu on claude.ai, or **Desktop usage** under **Desktop 3P** in **Organization settings**. The page includes the following:

244From Claude Desktop 1.46388.1, a running app checks for a changed configuration about every 10 minutes, and after the device wakes. When it finds a change, it shows a **Relaunch Claude Desktop** card in the sidebar and gives the user 24 hours to relaunch. When the window ends, the app requires a restart and restarts itself after 2 minutes of inactivity. Earlier releases check about every 30 minutes and allow 1 hour.
246From Claude Desktop 1.46388.1, a running app checks for a changed configuration about every 10 minutes, and after the device wakes. Some settings, such as the token limit and the banner, apply to the running app without a relaunch. For any other change, the app shows a **Relaunch Claude Desktop** card in the sidebar and gives the user 24 hours to relaunch. When the window ends, the app requires a restart and restarts itself after 2 minutes of inactivity. Earlier releases check about every 30 minutes and allow 1 hour.

246248To change the window, set **Configuration relaunch window** on the **Telemetry & updates** page. The window can be 0 to 336 hours, and 0 requires the restart as soon as the app sees the change. The setting applies to Claude Desktop 1.46388.1 and later. Earlier releases always allow 1 hour.
