What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?
Cannot see due to the bug - uninstalled and reinstalled from the store
What subscription do you have?
Pro
What platform is your computer?
Windows
What issue are you seeing?
Update required screen - blocking any interaction, although having the last version according to the Windows Store. Would make more sense to have it auto-update itself on load.
What steps can reproduce the bug?

The Windows app is currently accessible only to select users who signed up early on a wait list. It will be generally available soon.

(the second option: at that time, Codex VS Code was parsing the Codex Windows application into source code and looking for a problem, and Antigravity was doing the same). I think logging out helped.
(Resetting didn't help, and reinstalling didn't help. Rebooting didn't help)
