What
On Windows, Claude Code can be refused when starting in a folder you picked because it has not yet read the computer's Windows registry policy. The registry is where Windows keeps settings, including rules an administrator sets. The message now says so and tells you to try again in a minute.
Why
You see a clear reason and a retry hint instead of a generic failure.
