Codex lost all chat history. Won't save settings. 26.611.61049
What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?
Version 26.611.61049 • Released 16 June 2026
What subscription do you have?
Pro
What platform is your computer?
Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.26200.0 x64
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 and persists when upgrading to Version 26.609.71450 and Version 26.611.61049
Codex freezes for about a minute when trying to change the Agent Environment setting, it doesn't freeze for any other setting, even though none are changed when Codex is restarted.
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

I could not even imagine that Open AI could not fix what worked month's ago in a best possible perfect way, now every element every option every process or wont work or laggy or work with mistake
They should just let us choose the Codex version if they continue to break stuff. I'll be cancelling my Pro subscription if it's not fixed by renewal time and switching to Claude.
