I maintain WinBridge Recovery for Windows Codex Desktop bundled-plugin recovery: https://github.com/zemeng5208/winbridge-recovery
Because this report only says Chrome and Computer Use disappeared together, I would first separate a server/account availability change from a local bundled-state failure rather than assume one cause. WinBridge checks whether the current installed AppX package still contains the official Browser/Chrome/Computer Use assets, whether the generated
openai-bundledmarketplace is complete, whether the versioned caches/latesttargets match that package, and whether the local runtime/Native Host state is present.If the package still contains the plugins but the user-owned marketplace/cache/runtime was left partial or stale after an update/restart, that is within the project's recovery scope and it can rebuild those local layers from the already installed official package with staging, verification and rollback. If the package/local state is healthy but Desktop intentionally does not expose the features because of an account/rollout decision, WinBridge cannot and should not force them on.
It does not modify WindowsApps, bypass feature gates/policy, or bundle OpenAI binaries.
