Claude Code v2.1.133

Windows Background Daemon Respawn Is More Durable

Claude Code now tries to spawn upgraded background daemons on Windows through WMI/CIM, falling back to direct spawn if WMI fails.

Details
  • The WMI path uses Win32_Process.Create with a hidden process startup configuration.
  • If WMI fails or times out, Claude Code logs a fallback warning and starts directly.
  • The fallback note says the daemon may not survive SSH or terminal close.
Evidence

Windows daemon spawn path (search for "daemon: WMI spawn failed" and "Win32_Process.Create rc=").

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
