Anthropic's note

Upstream's own release notes for v2.0.58 name something this entry names, so the two are probably about the same change. Probably: the pairing is made on a shared name rather than on the words around it.

Windows: Managed settings now prefer C:\Program Files\ClaudeCode if it exists. Support for C:\ProgramData\ClaudeCode will be removed in a future version.

Is this right?

Other releases about the same thing. Found by shared names or similar wording; neither means one caused the other.
