codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix Windows desktop app crashes on launch with code=3221225477 [1 comments, 2 participants]

• Error shown:
• sometimes Most recent error: None
• previously also saw Most recent error: write EPIPE

TL;DR

The issue may be related to the sandbox mode configuration, and trying a different sandbox setting or checking the app's compatibility with the current Windows environment could help resolve the crash.

Guidance

• Verify that the Windows account has the necessary permissions and privileges to run the app, as the issue occurs with a local Administrator account.
• Check the app's documentation or support resources for any known issues with WSL installation, even if no Linux distro is configured.
• Try launching the app with a different sandbox mode setting, such as disabling sandboxing temporarily, to see if it makes a difference.
• Investigate the logs_2.sqlite and state_5.sqlite files in the C:\Users\Administrator\.codex directory for any error messages or clues that could help diagnose the issue.

Notes

The lack of a .sandbox directory and sandbox.log file suggests that the app may not be configuring the sandbox environment correctly, which could be contributing to the crash.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try disabling sandboxing or switching to a different sandbox mode to see if it resolves the issue, as the current configuration may be causing the app to crash.
