This situation is seriously impacting my productivity and time. I desperately need this resolved. I'm constantly standing before the computer, hitting the enter key.

Thanks for the report. We're actively working on some Windows improvements. We know this isn't ideal at the moment

GO! Codex!

@gpeal sorry but it's not clear how this is a duplicate of #2680
It's quite painful and I'd like to be sure it's not missed.
Mokhtar2k commentedon Sep 7, 2025
That's not related at all. Please we need a quick fix for this. This is painful. A single request might need 30 approvals!

Allow every time now asks every time for file changes, previously it was asking everytime for pwsh command

This bug still exists even in the latest codex version as of today 0.38.0. I am on windows and using codex in wsl seems to work.
PhunkyBob commentedon Sep 18, 2025
0.38.0 with Windows command line -> still asking for every action.

Why is this closed when the bug very much still exists?

@edgar-silchenko I tried to use with Full Access mode, and it is not asking me anything anymore
Of course, it’s not a solution, but what can we do if
openaidoesn’t care? A temporary workaround is using full-access mode, at your own risk.edgar-silchenko commentedon Sep 30, 2025
@mqhamdam Thanks! That helped. IDK how I missed that setting 😅

I'm using the
--yoloflag to avoid confirmations every 12 seconds.Yesterday, the tool executed
cd wrong_folder ; rm -rf *.*and everything in my current folder disappeared...nathanfunk commentedon Oct 1, 2025
Please get this fixed... this is embarrassing
JakkuSakura commentedon Oct 2, 2025
I'm still getting this issue, with CLI.
In one of my project, it asks perms to edit the file everytime. in other projects it was fine
