codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Codex App disables WSL/Windows interop globally [1 participants]

-bash: /mnt/c/WINDOWS/explorer.exe: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

TL;DR

The Codex App may be interfering with WSL/Windows interop, causing the "cannot execute binary file: Exec format error" when trying to launch Explorer from WSL.

Guidance

• The issue seems to be related to the Codex App disabling WSL/Windows interop on startup, which prevents Explorer from launching.
• To verify, try closing the Codex App and then launching Explorer from WSL using explorer.exe to see if it works as expected.
• As a potential workaround, consider launching the Codex App after starting the WSL terminal or finding an alternative method to launch Explorer that doesn't rely on WSL/Windows interop.
• Check the Codex App settings or documentation to see if there's an option to disable or configure the WSL/Windows interop disabling behavior.

Notes

The exact cause of the issue is unclear, and more information about the Codex App's configuration and settings may be needed to provide a definitive solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try launching the Codex App after starting the WSL terminal or finding an alternative method to launch Explorer, as this may help mitigate the issue until a more permanent solution is found.
