What variant of Codex are you using?
Windows Desktop App. Version 26.602.40724 • Released 5 June 2026
What feature would you like to see?
It is kind of unacceptable to be paying $100/mo and have an update suddenly break the app with no way to rollback the app version.
I'm not sure about OSX, but on Windows the Windows App Store manages and automatically updates Codex, which is great and all, until something is pushed that breaks your WSL2 integration, and Codex can no longer read and edit any files.
Allowing users to install specific Codex versions would give users a way to mitigate this.

I tried an openAI AI support chat. None of their diagnostic steps helped me to resolve the issue. I was told it was being escalated:
Escalated to a support specialist; You can expect a response in the coming days. Replies will also be sent via email. You can add additional comments to this conversation if needed.I am also not sure why this problem has not been resolved the past week. I have been eagerly checking in on GitHub but I don't see any PRs or commits addressing the WSL2 integration issue.
