hey there, anyone knows when/if codex cli will get the proper native Windows support? it currently can natively run in powershell but has bunch of issues which make the tool pretty much unusable (no mcp support, network problems...)

I find it crazy that I installed it as an addon to cursor, yet it needs powershell to read/write to the file I'm looking at. Oh, and all the approvals it requires make it pretty much unusable.

Hey peeps,
Currently use Claude Code through VSC on Windows (WSL). Interested in trying Codex but have zero idea how to get it to work. I currently have the Pro subscription.
If anyone can point me in a direction to get started I'd appreciate it!
There was a plugin I tried in VSC but it didn't work sadly.

I’ve been able to add the Codex Extension in VSC on a Windows 11 pc and log into my Plus account without any errors. Only use so far was I asked it to explain a Python script but haven’t used it to code something yet. I have WSL2 and about to download Ubuntu - read that using the Codex extension in WSL is more stable than without. That’s where I am currently. Where are you having issues?
