What’s actually slowing this PC down?

Windows 11 meets Anthropic’s published minimum requirement for Claude Desktop: “Windows: Windows 10 or higher.” That confirms the operating system is supported at the stated minimum, but it does not explain why a particular installation will not launch. Anthropic’s official guidance does not provide a general Windows 11 launch-failure diagnosis or repair procedure.
First, confirm the app and operating system
Anthropic lists Windows 10 or higher as the desktop system requirement, so Windows 11 meets the published minimum. This is a compatibility threshold, not a guarantee that every PC configuration or app installation will work.

Need Claude before the desktop issue is resolved?
Anthropic lists Chat at claude.ai separately from Claude for Desktop. If you can sign in and use the web interface, it can provide temporary access while you investigate the desktop app. Using web chat does not repair the desktop installation, and it may not meet a need that specifically requires the desktop app.
When to contact Anthropic support
If the official installer route does not help, contact Anthropic through its support messenger. Sign in to the Help Center, choose “Get help,” and use the messenger. Paid-plan users can request additional assistance from Product Support; free users can use the help documentation and Fin support bot. Anthropic says it does not offer phone or live chat support.

It does not establish a fix for the base Claude Desktop app failing to open. Do not edit registry policies as a general launch remedy; ask support for guidance specific to your installation.

Which access route fits your immediate need?
| Route | Use it when | What it does not do |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Desktop | You specifically need the Windows desktop app and it launches successfully. | Meeting the Windows 10-or-higher requirement does not diagnose a failure on a particular PC. |
| Chat at claude.ai | You can sign in and need temporary access while the desktop problem is unresolved. | It does not repair Claude Desktop. |
