I am using the Codex desktop app on Windows 11. Almost every day, my current Codex chat/session fails or stops working, and I am forced to start a new chat to continue working.
Now the Codex desktop app also causes my PC to freeze / become unstable, so I cannot reliably find the app version or continue working in the desktop app.
Expected behavior:
The Codex chat/session should continue working normally without failing every day, and the desktop app should not freeze my computer.
Actual behavior:
The chat/session fails repeatedly, I have to open a new Codex chat, and the desktop app can freeze or make my PC unstable.
Steps to reproduce:
- Open Codex desktop app on Windows 11.
- Work in an existing chat/session for coding tasks.
- After some time or the next day, the session fails/stops working.
- I have to create a new chat/session.
- Recently, the desktop app also freezes / destabilizes the PC.
This has happened repeatedly, not just once.
What steps can reproduce the bug?

The Codex desktop app should remain stable and should not freeze or destabilize my Windows PC.
I should not have to create a new chat/session every day to continue the same work.

Update: The issue still persists and has not been resolved.
The Codex desktop app continues to fail/freeze, and I am still forced to start a new chat/session. This is blocking my work and makes the desktop app unreliable for daily use.
I have also attached a screenshot from Codex showing the message/warning displayed in the app.
Please investigate and resolve this urgently.
