What issue are you seeing?

Codex Computer Use can discover Microsoft Edge windows, but when attempting to capture/control an Edge window, it stops with:

Computer Use has been stopped for this turn because it could not determine the current browser URL on Windows with enough confidence to enforce policy.

This happens even when Edge is showing a normal HTTPS page such as https://example.com/.

I verified that Windows UI Automation can read the Edge address bar URL successfully, but Computer Use still refuses to proceed.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Feedback ID: no-active-thread-019f3643-dc6c-7662-b7a3-34514c9fb7e2

What is the expected behavior?

Computer Use should detect that the current Microsoft Edge URL is a normal HTTPS URL and allow safe screenshot/control of the Edge window.

Additional information

Environment:

• Microsoft Edge path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe
• Microsoft Edge version observed: 150.0.4078.48
• Display scaling: 150%
• System proxy: 127.0.0.1:7897, with localhost and 127.* bypassed

I ran a diagnostic script that launched Edge with:

--new-window --force-renderer-accessibility --no-first-run --no-default-browser-check https://example.com/

Windows UI Automation successfully read:

URL: https://example.com
Element: 地址和搜索栏

It also read an existing Edge window URL:

https://agentseller.temu.com/newon/product-select

So the URL is readable at the Windows UI Automation layer, but Computer Use's browser URL policy still fails.
