This is still an issue, it also affects the .claude.json project path matching.
When launching Claude in a powershell window using path C:\Temp it fails to recognise there is already a project with path C:\temp Loading Claude in a VS Developer command prompt faces the same issue, compounded by that allowing for lower case drive letters as well.
I've just cleaned up a load of duplicate projects in the json file and consolidated mcp server settings.
On Windows, Claude needs to read paths as case insensitive.
