## Open now

Both members share the same title, reporting that running \`hermes update\` on Windows destroys local commits, kills an active chat, and is blocked when the desktop app is open. Only titles are available, so details and current status are not supported by the members.

## TL;DR

- 2 member(s): 0 open issue(s), 2 closed issue(s), 0 open PR(s), 0 merged PR(s), 0 PR(s) closed without merging.
- No fix found: no merged or attempted fix PR is on record for this cluster.
- **Recommended:** if this matches your symptom, consider adding to the existing issue(s) below rather than opening a new one.
