codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Upgraded from Plus to Pro, and now Codex won't start [2 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Try restarting your computer to ensure all background processes related to Codex are properly terminated and then attempt to launch Codex again.

Guidance

• Verify that no Codex processes are running in the background by checking the Task Manager after attempting to start the app.
• Check for any error messages or logs that might be generated when Codex fails to start, which could provide more insight into the issue.
• Consider uninstalling and then reinstalling Codex to ensure a clean start, especially since the issue began after a subscription upgrade.

Notes

The issue seems to be related to the upgrade process from Plus to Pro while the app was running, which might have caused a configuration or state issue that prevents the app from launching properly.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Since the issue is likely related to the upgrade process and not explicitly stated as a known bug with a fixed version, attempting a restart and potentially a clean reinstall seems like the most straightforward approach to resolve the issue without waiting for further updates.
