What issue are you seeing?
Codex Remote Control enrollment fails on Windows.
The desktop app shows:
“Pairing code unavailable: remote control pairing is unavailable until enrollment completes.”
The enrollment never completes, so no pairing code or QR code is generated.
I tested the following:
- Multiple ChatGPT accounts, including a new account
- A completely new Windows user profile
- Home Ethernet connection
- Mobile hotspot connection
- MFA enabled
- Signing out and signing back in
- Repairing and reinstalling the ChatGPT/Codex Windows app
- Clearing the local Remote Control enrollment state from .codex-global-state.json
- Installing the latest Wi-Fi driver
- Running the Windows user profile as Administrator
- Allowing devices to control the computer when prompted
The same error remains on every account and network.
The application logs also showed:
“remote control websocket reader disconnected”
“WebSocket protocol error: Connection reset without closing handshake”
“remote control websocket writer was stopped”
The issue appears to occur while registering this Windows computer as a Remote Control host.
