TL;DR

The issue may be related to a data loss bug introduced in a recent update, and reverting to a previous version or waiting for a patch might be necessary.

Guidance

  • Review the changelog for versions around 26.429.20946 to identify potential changes that could cause data loss.
  • Check if other users with similar configurations (Windows 10, Pro subscription) are experiencing the same issue to determine if it's an isolated problem.
  • Attempt to restore from any available backups or export previous chat history if possible.

Notes

The exact cause of the data loss is unclear, and without more information about the update or the application's data storage, it's difficult to provide a more specific solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Wait for a patch or update from the Codex App developers, as reverting to a previous version may not be feasible or safe.
