What version of the VS Code extension are you using?
Latest
What subscription do you have?
Pro
Which IDE are you using?
VS Code
What platform is your computer?
Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.19045.0 x64
What issue are you seeing?
In the Codex Settings Menu its impossible to turn of "Run in WSL" once it was turned on. I know it's optimized for WSL but I wanted to try that out as my E2E playwright MCP Live Workflow might work properly there as it does for CC.
(Also there is no direct feedback button in the settings, would be helpful imo as the help button just links to the Wiki)
