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.
