Claude Desktop Spins Up a VM with No Way to Stop It
Hacker News (AI keywords)·16 hours ago·Incident
GitHub issue #29045 in the anthropics/claude-code repo reports that Claude Desktop automatically spins up a virtual machine without user consent or control.
The core problem is the absence of any stop mechanism, leaving the VM running indefinitely and consuming system resources.
This raises concerns about transparency, resource management, and user control over Claude Desktop's execution environment.
