What issue are you seeing?

I’m seeing what appears to be the same issue on Windows Codex Desktop.

Codex Desktop version:
26.623.5175.0

Feedback ID:
no-active-thread-019f0a14-dfd3-7742-8f7a-300942fcb7fb

Behavior:
Old/existing chats still work, but creating a new chat/task from Codex Desktop fails.

Errors:

• Error creating task: Invalid request: AbsolutePathBuf deserialized without a base path
• Error starting chat: Invalid request: AbsolutePathBuf deserialized without a base path

Additional detail:
Creating a new chat from remote/mobile works, and the newer chats then appear on desktop. Desktop just cannot create new chats itself.

Environment:

• Windows
• Codex CLI works
• Node/npm doctor passes
• Repo is valid
• Reset-AppxPackage did not fix it
• Renaming app local package state did not fix it

This started after I ran a remote task. When I returned to desktop, Codex Desktop could not send commands. After dependency/app repair, old chats worked again, but desktop-created new chats still fail.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

What is the expected behavior?

That I can open a new chat.

Additional information

This all started happening after I did a remote task one morning, when I sat down at the computer it was completely broken, and I couldn't send any commands, then I attempted re-install and I could then use old chats but the chat was desynced, so I did a windows reset now I can see newer chats, but I can only open a new chat from remote.
