TL;DR

The issue with the Codex extension getting stuck in VSCode on Windows 10 may be resolved by checking for conflicts with other extensions or configuration issues.

Guidance

  • Try disabling all other extensions in VSCode and then enable them one by one to identify if any specific extension is causing the conflict with Codex.
  • Check the VSCode settings and configuration files for any recent changes that might be affecting the Codex extension.
  • Since reinstalling or switching versions did not work, it might be helpful to reset VSCode settings to their default state to see if that resolves the issue.
  • Consider checking for any updates to the Codex extension or VSCode itself, as newer versions may address the issue.

Notes

The provided information does not specify any recent changes to the system, VSCode, or the Codex extension that could have caused the issue, so the steps are somewhat exploratory.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try the steps outlined in the guidance section to identify and potentially resolve the conflict or configuration issue affecting the Codex extension.
