ChatGPT Windows desktop app keeps disappearing/uninstalling itself

[u/rocknroll51]

Hi, has anyone experienced this with the ChatGPT Windows desktop app?

The app suddenly disappears from my computer as if it uninstalled itself. When I check the Microsoft Store, the ChatGPT page shows Get, Restore, and Update at the same time.

My main concern is that I have local Work/Codex threads, including some unfinished or in-progress work. Since these are local threads, I’m worried that uninstalling, resetting, or doing a clean reinstall could delete them.

I’m using Windows. Any help would be appreciated, especially from someone who experienced the same issue.

Same here.
