Codex lost all chat history. Won't save settings. 26.611.62324

What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

Version 26.611.62324 • Released 17 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, Version 26.611.61049 and Version 26.611.62324

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
