What platform is your computer?
Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.19045.0 x64
What issue are you seeing?
Computer Use can connect to the Windows helper and works for non-screenshot operations, but screenshot capture fails on Windows 10 22H2.
What works:
sky.list_apps()works.- Computer Use can launch Notepad.
- Computer Use can inspect the accessibility tree with
include_screenshot: false, include_text: true. - Computer Use can focus the Notepad editor.
- Computer Use can type text into Notepad.
What fails:
Screenshot capture fails when calling:
await sky.get_window_state({
window: targetWindow,
include_screenshot: true
});
or when relying on the default screenshot behavior.
Full error message:
SetIsBorderRequired failed: 不支持此接口 (0x80004002)
English meaning:
SetIsBorderRequired failed: No such interface supported (0x80004002)
Expected behavior:
Computer Use should capture the window screenshot successfully, or gracefully fall back to a compatible capture mode if borderless capture is not supported.
Actual behavior:
The screenshot request fails completely with the error above.
Suspected root cause:
The helper appears to call GraphicsCaptureSession.IsBorderRequired / SetIsBorderRequired.
According to Microsoft documentation, GraphicsCaptureSession.IsBorderRequired was introduced in Windows 10 version 2104 / build 20348 / UniversalApiContract v12.
My machine is Windows 10 22H2 build 19045, where this property appears to be unavailable, so the WinRT call returns E_NOINTERFACE / 0x80004002.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/windows.foundation.metadata.apiinformation.ispropertypresent
Suggested fix:
Before setting GraphicsCaptureSession.IsBorderRequired, check whether the property exists, for example with ApiInformation.IsPropertyPresent(...).
Alternatively, catch E_NOINTERFACE / 0x80004002 from SetIsBorderRequired and continue with the default capture behavior.
Workaround:
Using accessibility-only state works:
await sky.get_window_state({
window: targetWindow,
include_screenshot: false,
include_text: true
});
However, this prevents visual screenshot-based interaction, which is important for apps with weak accessibility support.
### What steps can reproduce the bug?
1. Run Codex App on Windows 10 22H2 build 19045.
2. Enable or use the Computer Use plugin.
3. Start a new Codex thread and ask it to use Computer Use to open Notepad.
4. Let Computer Use connect to the Windows helper and list apps:
```js
globalThis.apps = await sky.list_apps();
Launch Notepad:
const notepad = apps.find((app) =>
app.displayName === "记事本" || /notepad\.exe/i.test(app.id)
);
await sky.launch_app({ app: notepad.id });
Select the Notepad window:
globalThis.apps = await sky.list_apps();
const targetApp = apps.find((app) =>
app.displayName === "记事本" || /notepad\.exe/i.test(app.id)
);
globalThis.targetWindow = await sky.get_window(targetApp.windows[0]);
Call get_window_state with screenshot enabled:
await sky.get_window_state({
window: targetWindow,
include_screenshot: true
});
The call fails with:
SetIsBorderRequired failed: 不支持此接口 (0x80004002)
For comparison, the same window works if screenshot capture is disabled:
await sky.get_window_state({
window: targetWindow,
include_screenshot: false,
include_text: true
});

This issue is still reproducible on a much newer Codex Windows build.
Environment:
OpenAI.Codex_26.803.10989.0_x64__2p2nqsd0c76g0computer-use/26.803.8150919045.6466ko-KRCurrent behavior:
SetIsBorderRequired failed (0x80004002).The problem persists after multiple Codex/Computer Use updates, so please add a Windows 10 fallback: check API/property availability before calling
GraphicsCaptureSession.IsBorderRequired, or catchE_NOINTERFACEand continue capture using the default border behavior.Please prioritize a fix or provide a clear supported workaround for Windows 10 users.
