What is the issue?
The installation instructions for installing the Codex desktop app (now renamed to ChatGPT desktop app) still point towards invoking winget install Codex -s msstore. I was surprised to see a QR code reader being installed..
Either this line needs updating to instead target the changed application name (or the more stable ID), or it needs removing.
Where did you find it?
