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

newest

What subscription do you have?

pro

What platform is your computer?

Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.20348.0 x64 (Windows Server 2022 Datacenter 21H2)

What issue are you seeing?

The Codex App does not currently support Windows Server 2022/2019. This is a significant limitation for DevOps and System Administrators who need to use the "Computer Use" feature directly on their production or staging servers. ​As an infrastructure manager, I need Codex to interact with the server's GUI and CLI to automate complex O&M (Operations and Maintenance) tasks. The lack of compatibility prevents the app from being used in the very environment where automation is most needed.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Log in to a Windows Server 2022 21H2 environment (via RDP or console). ​Attempt to install and launch the Codex Desktop App. ​Observe that the application fails to initialize or the Computer Use features are unavailable due to OS compatibility checks.

What is the expected behavior?

The Codex App should support Windows Server 2022

Additional information

extent analysis

TL;DR

The Codex App does not support Windows Server 2022, causing initialization failures or unavailable "Computer Use" features.

Guidance

  • Verify the system requirements for the Codex App to confirm the compatibility issue with Windows Server 2022.
  • Consider using a supported operating system, such as Windows 10, to run the Codex App.
  • Explore alternative automation tools that support Windows Server 2022 for O&M tasks.
  • Reach out to the Codex App developers or support team to request Windows Server 2022 compatibility.

Notes

The issue is specific to Windows Server 2022, and there is no clear workaround provided. The guidance is focused on verifying the compatibility issue and exploring alternative solutions.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Use a supported operating system or alternative automation tools, as there is no clear indication of an available fix or upgrade to resolve the compatibility issue with Windows Server 2022.
