    Claude Desktop spins up a VM without no way of stopping it

    Users of Anthropic's Claude Desktop application on Windows have reported a significant bug where the app automatically launches a Hyper-V virtual machine upon startup. This VM, identified as Vmmem, consumes approximately 1.8 GB of RAM, even when the user is only utilizing the chat functionality and not engaging with agent or Cowork features. The issue appears to stem from uncleaned session files and a service that triggers the VM on launch, leading to increased system resource usage and potential sluggishness. AI

    IMPACT Users may experience increased system resource consumption on Windows due to an unintended virtual machine launch by the Claude Desktop application.
