[Windows Desktop 26.707.12708.0] Severe lag while typing and switching tasks; repeated 0xc06d007f crashes
What version of the Codex App are you using?
Microsoft Store package: OpenAI.Codex_26.707.12708.0_x64__2p2nqsd0c76g0
What platform is your computer?
Windows 11 Pro, build 26200, x64, 16 GB RAM.
What issue are you seeing?
I am seeing severe, persistent UI lag in the Windows desktop app during normal use.
The most noticeable symptoms are:
- typing into the composer has a visible delay;
- switching between tasks/conversations can freeze the window for several seconds;
- sending a message can feel delayed before the UI accepts it;
- the whole desktop sometimes feels briefly stuck while the app remains open.
This is not just a slow network connection. CPU, disk queue, and available memory were normal while the problem was happening. Windows Event Viewer repeatedly records new Application Error events for ChatGPT.exe:
- Event ID:
1000 - package:
OpenAI.Codex_26.707.12708.0_x64__2p2nqsd0c76g0 - exception code:
0xc06d007f - faulting module:
unknown
I also see repeated renderer-side ResizeObserver loop completed with undelivered notifications errors in the desktop logs.
I tried the Windows Repair action and then Reset for the Codex app. The reset started a fresh app process, but the same 0xc06d007f events and severe lag returned within minutes.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Launch Codex Desktop on Windows.
- Open an existing task, then switch between tasks/conversations.
- Type or submit messages normally.
- Observe delayed input and intermittent UI freezes.
- Check Windows Event Viewer > Windows Logs > Application and observe repeated
ChatGPT.exeEvent ID 1000 entries with0xc06d007f.
The problem occurs during ordinary text-based work; no in-app browser or external device is required.
What is the expected behavior?
Typing, switching tasks, and submitting messages should stay responsive. A normal task should not generate repeated background crashes or make the rest of the desktop stutter.
Additional information
I found related reports such as #33518, #33494, and #33524 after collecting the local evidence. I am filing this separately because the same failure is still present on the newer Microsoft Store build 26.707.12708.0, even after both Repair and Reset. I have not attached raw logs because they may include private task content, but I can provide redacted event details if useful.
