Windows app package displays ChatGPT name/icon instead of Codex after update
What version of Codex are you using?
Codex Windows app 26.707.3748.0 (MSIX package OpenAI.Codex_26.707.3748.0_x64__2p2nqsd0c76g0)
What platform are you using?
Windows 11 Home 25H2, build 26200.8655, x64
What issue are you seeing?
After the recent Codex app update, the Windows 11 taskbar shows the ChatGPT/OpenAI icon instead of the Codex icon.
The installed package and running processes are still Codex:
- Package:
OpenAI.Codex - Package family:
OpenAI.Codex_2p2nqsd0c76g0 - Running executable:
codex.exe
However, the installed AppxManifest.xml identifies the app visually as ChatGPT:
<DisplayName>ChatGPT</DisplayName>
<Logo>assets/icon.png</Logo>
<Application Id="App" Executable="app/ChatGPT.exe" EntryPoint="Windows.FullTrustApplication">
<uap:VisualElements
DisplayName="ChatGPT"
Description="ChatGPT"
Square44x44Logo="assets/Square44x44Logo.png"
Square150x150Logo="assets/Square150x150Logo.png"
... />
</Application>
The referenced assets contain the ChatGPT/OpenAI knot logo. This appears to be package branding/manifest configuration rather than a corrupted taskbar shortcut or missing icon cache.
Steps to reproduce
- Install or update the Codex Windows app to version
26.707.3748.0. - Launch Codex.
- Inspect the icon shown for the running app on the Windows 11 taskbar.
- Optionally inspect the installed package's
AppxManifest.xml.
Expected behavior
The Codex app should use the Codex display name and Codex taskbar icon.
Actual behavior
Windows identifies and displays the packaged application as ChatGPT and uses the ChatGPT/OpenAI icon.
Additional information
The icon files are present and readable in the package, so this does not appear to be a missing or damaged asset.
