What

The per-app restrictions used when Claude controls your computer now cover more Windows surfaces: Store entries for Edge, Firefox and Arc, Windows Terminal, PowerShell, and shells such as explorer.exe and taskmgr.exe, plus a long name-matching list covering trading and cryptocurrency applications. The refusal wording for browsers, terminals, IDEs and Claude's own window is unchanged. This whole surface can be turned off by remote configuration.
