What version of the Codex App are you using (From “About Codex” dialog)?

26.422.30944

What subscription do you have?

Pro

What platform is your computer?

Windows 11 Home

What issue are you seeing?

My Computer had to restart and when it loaded back up I started Codex back up and when I did all of my projects and chats in codex are gone. If I search for them, they do show up, but I can't see them on the main interface. New chats won't appear either.

So no matter what I do I can't see new chats or projects or conversations.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Uploaded thread: 56c49608-2ed1-4765-8258-91fc3ac3ae97

No clue. My computer shut down and when it came back on all my projects and conversations in Codex were missing. I've tried rebooting and nothing.

What is the expected behavior?

Normally all of my chats and projects are in Codex. New chats show up too. Nothing does now.

TL;DR

The issue might be resolved by checking the Codex App's data storage or synchronization settings to ensure that projects and chats are properly loaded after a system restart.

Guidance

  • Check if the issue persists after restarting the Codex App multiple times to rule out a one-time loading error.
  • Verify that the search function is working correctly and that the missing projects and chats are indeed being found, which could indicate a display or filtering issue.
  • Look for any available settings or options related to data synchronization or storage in the Codex App, as this might be related to the issue.
  • Consider reaching out to Codex support for further assistance, as the issue might be specific to the Pro subscription or version 26.422.30944.

Notes

The exact cause of the issue is unclear, and without more information about the Codex App's internal workings or error logs, it's difficult to provide a more specific solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try checking the Codex App's settings and searching for missing projects and chats to see if they can be recovered or reloaded, as this might be a temporary issue related to the system restart.
