What issue are you seeing?
Lost all chat history. Projects are there, but have empty chats. I can't change any settings. When I open settings up and attempt to set them back to WSL2, the Codex says I need to restart, and when I do, all the settings have reset back to factory. This happened when updating to Version 26.609.41114
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, running with admin rights, nothing works.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Install latest version. Attempt to change a setting.
What is the expected behavior?
Codex should actually work
