Problem

Codex desktop cannot connect to the Codex Chrome Extension on Windows, even though the Chrome extension is installed and enabled.

Environment

• OS: Windows
• Browser: Google Chrome
• Codex desktop app: reinstalled, issue persists
• Codex Chrome Extension: installed from Chrome Web Store and enabled
• Chrome extension permissions:
• Site access: On all sites
• “Communicate with cooperating native applications” permission is present
• Extension is pinned/enabled

What I tried

1. Uninstalled and reinstalled Codex desktop.
2. Confirmed the Codex Chrome Extension is installed and enabled in chrome://extensions.
3. Closed and reopened both Codex and Chrome.
4. Ran Windows permission repair for the OpenAI local app folder:

takeown /F "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\OpenAI" /R /D Y
icacls "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\OpenAI" /grant "$($env:USERDOMAIN)\$($env:USERNAME):(OI)(CI)F" /T
