Description
What issue are you seeing?
Windows ChatGPT/Codex Desktop 上的 Computer Use 曾经可以正常工作,但随后 Codex 本地 runtime / unified exec 初始化失败,之后新的 Computer Use 会话经常无法获得 Computer Use 工具。
当前版本:
26.820.60940
Computer Use 曾成功完成一次真实图形界面操作:
- 打开 Windows 记事本
- 输入:AWE COMPUTER USE TEST
- 从实际记事本画面成功读回:AWE COMPUTER USE TEST
之后出现错误:
CreateProcess: Rejected("Failed to create unified exec process: helper_unknown_error: setup refresh had errors")
另外一次错误涉及:
C:\Users\HP.cache\codex-runtimes\codex-primary-runtime...
并出现 exec_command failed。
从此以后,即使通过:
Plugins → Computer Use → Try now
创建新的 @Computer Use 会话,也经常返回:
COMPUTER_USE_NOT_AVAILABLE
Computer Use 插件已安装并启用,“电脑操控 → 任意应用”也已开启。
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- 在 Windows 上运行 ChatGPT/Codex Desktop 26.820.60940。
- 确认 Computer Use 插件已安装并开启。
- 在“设置 → 电脑操控”中开启“任意应用”。
- 打开“插件 → Computer Use → 立即试用”。
- 使用 Computer Use 控制 Windows 应用。
最初 Computer Use 可以正常工作,例如成功打开记事本并输入和读回文字。
之后 Codex 本地执行器出现:
CreateProcess: Rejected("Failed to create unified exec process: helper_unknown_error: setup refresh had errors")
并出现指向:
C:\Users\HP.cache\codex-runtimes\codex-primary-runtime...
的 exec_command failed。
此后:
- 再次打开“插件 → Computer Use → 立即试用”。
- 创建新的 @Computer Use 会话。
- 请求只使用 Computer Use 打开 Windows 记事本。
结果经常直接返回:
COMPUTER_USE_NOT_AVAILABLE
已经尝试:
- 重启 ChatGPT/Codex
- 重启 Windows
- 关闭并重新开启 Computer Use
- 关闭并重新开启“任意应用”
- 从 Computer Use 插件页重新点击“立即试用”
问题仍然存在。
What is the expected behavior?
通过“插件 → Computer Use → 立即试用”创建的新会话,应稳定挂载 Computer Use 工具,并能够正常控制 Windows 应用。
如果 Codex 本地 runtime / unified exec 刷新失败,也不应该导致后续 Computer Use 会话永久或频繁变成不可用。
希望官方提供安全的 Windows runtime Repair / Reset / Refresh 方法,而不需要用户手动修改 Windows/AppData 权限或删除 runtime 文件。
Additional information
Environment:
- Windows
- ChatGPT/Codex Desktop
- Version: 26.820.60940
- Computer Use plugin installed and enabled
- “Allow ChatGPT to control apps / 任意应用” enabled
- Google Chrome integration installed
Built-in diagnostic feedback was submitted successfully.
Feedback ID:
01a03bc8-b98a-70b2-a9ab-afe6355a093d
The feedback submission included the current ChatGPT session logs and browser logs.
I have NOT:
- manually deleted C:\Users\HP.cache\codex-runtimes
- modified Windows/AppData ACLs or permissions
- manually modified runtime files
- manually reinstalled codex-primary-runtime
Possible areas to investigate:
- Computer Use session/tool attachment failure
- codex-primary-runtime initialization/refresh failure
- unified exec/helper startup failure
- runtime/version mismatch after updating to 26.820.60940

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure on Windows with ChatGPT/Codex Desktop 26.820.60940, using Plugins → Computer Use → Try now and the codex-primary-runtime path under C:\Users\HP.cache\codex-runtimes. Review the submitted session and browser logs around the unified exec setup refresh error. Done means a new Computer Use session reliably receives its tool after a runtime refresh failure.
