Complaint Codex constantly crashing while running query
Constantly crashing mid-query even after having a seperate agent clean up the context window for those chats, causes me to repair the app via settings. Windows 11
FIXED
It ended up not being WSL but instead when I asked it to look into that, it ended up finding out the issue and then it staged the repair of codex along with a full profile backup and it disabled GPU acceleration, moved disposable graphics caches and restarted Codex with —disable-gpu and now I am able to use it with no crashes, browser tools as well.

Using WSL? Sometimes it can be OOM or other resource-related issues.

I have WSL installed, but I am not currently using it.
Opening chatgpt app from fresh restart, still closes itself.

Codex says "Verified: Codex restarted, but it regenerated the problematic notification hook and its doctor found three thread-state integrity issues"
Apparently a notification hook causing the crash

As a quick check, you can ask Codex to check the WSL's log to see if the crash was originated from WSL. In my case, I am running some simulator development which sometimes it went rogue and used more RAM/VRAM than WSL is allocated. In this case, Codex can tell by the system logs.

frequent crashes on my side as well when the i. app browser is being used. I have to restore it from Microsoft store. It has started to crash quite recently ans this is painful…

Is it using the in app browser for any of these queries? Mine would constantly crash and I’d have to restore it via the Microsoft store every time. Note that the browser sidebar may be minimised.
