codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Windows] Bundled plugins (Computer Use, Browser, Chrome, LaTeX) unavailable — copyfile fails on EFS-encrypted WindowsApps files

内容：

Environment

• Codex version: 26.527.3686.0 (also reproduced on 26.519.11010.0)
• OS: Windows 11 Home China (Build 26200)
• Install method: Microsoft Store

Description

All bundled plugins (Computer Use, Browser, Chrome, LaTeX) show as unavailable in the plugin marketplace. The logs show two related errors:

Error 1: Marketplace copy fails

Node.js copyfile cannot copy plugin manifests from C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\ to the user's .codex\.tmp\bundled-marketplaces\ staging directory. This affects all 4 bundled plugins.

Error 2: Computer Use native pipe startup fails

Computer Use native pipe fails with "Windows Computer Use helper paths are unavailable", reason=missing-helper-path.

Suspected Root Cause

Files in C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\ are protected by EFS (Encrypting File System). Node.js fs.copyFile / fs.cp cannot handle EFS-encrypted files when copying outside the package directory. Manual testing confirmed Copy-Item and robocopy also fail with "The specified file could not be encrypted".

Workaround Attempted

Manually reading files with System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes and writing to user .codex\plugins\ succeeded for text and binary files, but the app does not recognize manually-placed plugins.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install Codex from Microsoft Store on Windows 11
2. Open Codex → Plugins
3. Observe that Computer Use, Browser, Chrome, LaTeX show as unavailable
