在 Windows 版 Codex 使用 Computer Use 時,執行環境持續無法啟動。

錯誤訊息:
windows sandbox failed: runner error: CreateProcessAsUserW failed: 5
node_repl kernel exited unexpectedly

已嘗試:

  1. 重設執行環境。
  2. 完全關閉並重新啟動 Codex。
  3. 多次重新執行 Computer Use。
  4. 仍會穩定重現相同錯誤。

預期結果:
Computer Use 應能正常啟動並列出可操作的 Windows 應用程式。

實際結果:
啟動時立即因 CreateProcessAsUserW failed: 5 結束,無法操作瀏覽器。

English translation:

When using Computer Use in the Windows version of Codex, the execution environment consistently fails to start.

Error message:
windows sandbox failed: runner error: CreateProcessAsUserW failed: 5
node_repl kernel exited unexpectedly

Tried:

  1. Reset the execution environment.
  2. Completely closed and restarted Codex.
  3. Reran Computer Use multiple times.
  4. The same error is still consistently reproducible.

Expected result:
Computer Use should start normally and list the operable Windows applications.

Actual result:
On startup, it immediately exits due to CreateProcessAsUserW failed: 5, making it impossible to operate the browser.
