Since updating to the latest Windows version of Codex Desktop, I’ve started experiencing unexpected crashes that didn’t occur before.

The application will sometimes close by itself while it’s working, without any warning, error message, or obvious trigger. I haven’t been able to identify a consistent way to reproduce the issue—it simply crashes during normal use.

What’s interesting is that I was using an earlier version just two days ago, and I never encountered this behavior. Because of that, I suspect this may have been introduced in a recent update.

I’m posting this here in case other Windows users are seeing the same problem. If multiple people are experiencing similar crashes, I hope the OpenAI team can collect these reports, identify the underlying cause, and include a fix in a future update.

If anyone else has encountered this issue, it would be helpful to know whether you’ve found any pattern or workaround.

Thank you.

Is your problem similar to

i am on intel 24 core, 98gb ram, multi-gpu system, 2 TB NVME SSD . when running 5-6 agents 12%- 30% cpu usage, 50-60% RAM usage, the app becomes briefly unstable, pauses, freezes when switching between tabs/agents, sometimes without even swithching, takes long pasues to display different chat etc. any particular reason? at times, it also crashes and have to restart it.

Possibly, but I only opened one window, with only 1 agent.
