What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?
Version 26.601.21317 • Released Jun 2, 2026 (But having problems with past 1 week+ releases)
What subscription do you have?
Pro
What platform is your computer?
Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.22631.0 x64
What issue are you seeing?
I am constantly not allowing the Access, but my prompt mostly functions and completes its task fully, except for Compacting, that gets stuck sometimes when I see this popup come through at the time of compacting context.

What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Update from Codex when it is available.
- Within Project, kick off a new prompt sometimes involving /computer /browser.
- Compacting context window
What is the expected behavior?
No virus popups duh ! things run, but something extra sneaky is done at at the issuance of a prompt, compacting of a context, and for upgrades triggered from within Codex!
Additional information
I am seeing Electron app crashes additionally ,
