Claude Computer Control Feature Expanded to Windows, macOS First, with Full Platform Coverage One Week Later

According to 1M AI News monitoring, Anthropic has announced that Claude's computer use feature is now available on Windows, accessible in Claude Cowork and Claude Code Desktop. The feature debuted on macOS as a research preview on March 24, expanding to Windows a week later, requiring a Pro or Max subscription.

The functionality is consistent with the macOS version: Claude can directly open applications, operate the browser, edit local files without configuring API keys or a terminal environment, simply by downloading the application. When combined with the Dispatch feature, users can assign tasks on their mobile devices for Claude to automatically complete on the PC. Claude will prioritize using dedicated connectors for services like Slack, Google Calendar, and only resort to direct keyboard, mouse, and screen control when connectors are unavailable, requesting user permission before performing operations.
