Copy Page # ChatGPT desktop app for Windows Use the ChatGPT desktop app on Windows with native sandbox and PowerShell support Copy Page The [ChatGPT desktop app for Windows](https://get.microsoft.com/installer/download/9PLM9XGG6VKS?cid=website_cta_psi) gives you one interface for working across projects, running parallel chats, and reviewing results. The Windows app supports core workflows such as worktrees, scheduled tasks, Git functionality, the built-in browser, file previews, plugins, and skills. It runs natively on Windows using PowerShell and the [Windows sandbox](https://developers.openai.com/codex/windows/windows-sandbox#windows-sandbox), or you can configure it to run in [Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2)](https://developers.openai.com/codex/windows/windows-app#windows-subsystem-for-linux-wsl). ![Image 2: ChatGPT desktop app for Windows showing a project sidebar, active chat, and review pane](https://developers.openai.com/images/codex/windows/codex-windows-light.webp)![Image 3: ChatGPT desktop app for Windows showing a project sidebar, active chat, and review pane](https://developers.openai.com/images/codex/windows/codex-windows-dark.webp) ![Image 4: ChatGPT desktop app for Windows showing a project sidebar, active chat, and review pane](https://developers.openai.com/images/codex/windows/codex-windows-light.webp)![Image 5: ChatGPT desktop app for Windows showing a project sidebar, active chat, and review pane](https://developers.openai.com/images/codex/windows/codex-windows-dark.webp) ## Download the ChatGPT desktop app Download the [ChatGPT desktop app](https://get.microsoft.com/installer/download/9PLM9XGG6VKS?cid=website_cta_psi) for Windows. Then follow the [quickstart](https://developers.openai.com/codex/quickstart?setup=app) to get started. For enterprise installation and update options, see [Deploy the Windows app](https://developers.openai.com/codex/enterprise/windows-deployment). If you prefer a command-line install path, run: `winget install --id 9PLM9XGG6VKS -s msstore` ## Native sandbox The ChatGPT desktop app on Windows supports a native [Windows sandbox](https://developers.openai.com/codex/windows/windows-sandbox#windows-sandbox) when the agent runs in PowerShell, and uses Linux sandboxing when you run the agent in [Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2)](https://developers.openai.com/codex/windows/windows-app#windows-subsystem-for-linux-wsl). To apply sandbox protections in either mode, select **Ask for approval** beneath the composer before sending messages to Codex. Running Codex in full access mode means Codex is not limited to your project directory and might perform unintentional destructive actions that can lead to data loss. Keep sandbox boundaries in place and use [rules](https://developers.openai.com/codex/agent-configuration/rules) for targeted exceptions, or set your [approval policy to never](https://developers.openai.com/codex/agent-approvals-security#run-without-approval-prompts) to have Codex attempt to solve problems without asking for escalated permissions, based on your [approval and security setup](https://developers.openai.com/codex/agent-approvals-security). ## Customize for your dev setup ### Preferred editor Choose a default app for **Open**, such as Visual Studio, VS Code, or another editor. You can override that choice per project. If you already picked a different app from the **Open** menu for a project, that project-specific choice takes precedence. ![Image 6: ChatGPT desktop app settings showing the default Open In app on Windows](https://developers.openai.com/images/codex/windows/open-in-windows-light.webp)![Image 7: ChatGPT desktop app settings showing the default Open In app on Windows](https://developers.openai.com/images/codex/windows/open-in-windows-dark.webp) ![Image 8: ChatGPT desktop app settings showing the default Open In app on Windows](https://developers.openai.com/images/codex/windows/open-in-windows-light.webp)![Image 9: ChatGPT desktop app settings showing the default Open In app on Windows](https://developers.openai.com/images/codex/windows/open-in-windows-dark.webp) ### Integrated terminal You can also choose the default integrated terminal. Depending on what you have installed, options include: * PowerShell * Command Prompt * Git Bash * WSL This change applies only to new terminal sessions. If you already have an integrated terminal open, restart the app or start a new chat before expecting the new default terminal to appear. ![Image 10: ChatGPT desktop app settings showing the integrated terminal selection on Windows](https://developers.openai.com/images/codex/windows/integrated-shell-light.webp)![Image 11: ChatGPT desktop app settings showing the integrated terminal selection on Windows](https://developers.openai.com/images/codex/windows/integrated-shell-dark.webp) ![Image 12: ChatGPT desktop app settings showing the integrated terminal selection on Windows](https://developers.openai.com/images/codex/windows/integrated-shell-light.webp)![Image 13: ChatGPT desktop app settings showing the integrated terminal selection on Windows](https://developers.openai.com/images/codex/windows/integrated-shell-dark.webp) ## Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) By default, the ChatGPT desktop app uses the Windows-native Codex agent. That means the agent runs commands in PowerShell. The app can still work with projects that live in Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2) by using the `wsl` CLI when needed. If you want to add a project from the WSL filesystem, click **Add new project** or press Ctrl+O, then type `\\wsl$\` into the File Explorer window. From there, choose your Linux distribution and the folder you want to open. If you plan to keep using the Windows-native agent, prefer storing projects on your Windows filesystem and accessing them from WSL through `/mnt//...`. This setup is more reliable than opening projects directly from the WSL filesystem. If you want the agent itself to run in WSL2, open **[Settings](codex://settings)**, switch the agent from Windows native to WSL, and **restart the app**. The change doesn’t take effect until you restart. Your projects should remain in place after restart. WSL1 was supported through Codex `0.114`. Starting in Codex `0.115`, the Linux sandbox moved to `bubblewrap`, so WSL1 is no longer supported. ![Image 14: ChatGPT desktop app settings showing the agent selector with Windows native and WSL options](https://developers.openai.com/images/codex/windows/wsl-select-light.webp)![Image 15: ChatGPT desktop app settings showing the agent selector with Windows native and WSL options](https://developers.openai.com/images/codex/windows/wsl-select-dark.webp) ![Image 16: ChatGPT desktop app settings showing the agent selector with Windows native and WSL options](https://developers.openai.com/images/codex/windows/wsl-select-light.webp)![Image 17: ChatGPT desktop app settings showing the agent selector with Windows native and WSL options](https://developers.openai.com/images/codex/windows/wsl-select-dark.webp) You configure the integrated terminal independently from the agent. See [Customize for your dev setup](https://developers.openai.com/codex/windows/windows-app#customize-for-your-dev-setup) for the terminal options. You can keep the agent in WSL and still use PowerShell in the terminal, or use WSL for both, depending on your workflow. ## Useful developer tools Codex works best when a few common developer tools are already installed: * **Git**: Powers the review panel in the ChatGPT desktop app and lets you inspect or revert changes. * **Node.js**: A common tool that the agent uses to perform tasks more efficiently. * **Python**: A common tool that the agent uses to perform tasks more efficiently. * **.NET SDK**: Useful when you want to build native Windows apps. * **GitHub CLI**: Powers GitHub-specific functionality in the ChatGPT desktop app. Install them with the default Windows package manager `winget` by pasting this into the [integrated terminal](https://developers.openai.com/codex/integrated-terminal) or asking Codex to install them: ``` winget install --id Git.Git winget install --id OpenJS.NodeJS.LTS winget install --id Python.Python.3.14 winget install --id Microsoft.DotNet.SDK.10 winget install --id GitHub.cli ``` After installing GitHub CLI, run `gh auth login` to enable GitHub features in the app. If you need a different Python or .NET version, change the package IDs to the version you want. ## Troubleshooting and FAQ ### Run commands with elevated permissions If you need Codex to run commands with elevated permissions, start the ChatGPT desktop app itself as an administrator. After installation, open the Start menu, find the app, and choose **Run as administrator**. The Codex agent inherits that permission level. ### PowerShell execution policy blocks commands If you have never used tools such as Node.js or `npm` in PowerShell before, the Codex agent or integrated terminal may hit execution policy errors. This can also happen if Codex creates PowerShell scripts for you. In that case, you may need a less restrictive execution policy before PowerShell will run them. An error may look something like this: `npm.ps1 cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on this system.` A common fix is to set the execution policy to `RemoteSigned`: `Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned` For details and other options, check Microsoft’s [execution policy guide](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_execution_policies) before changing the policy. ### Local environment scripts on Windows If your [local environment](https://developers.openai.com/codex/environments/local-environment) uses cross-platform commands such as `npm` scripts, you can keep one shared setup script or set of actions for every platform. If you need Windows-specific behavior, create Windows-specific setup scripts or Windows-specific actions. Actions run in the environment used by your integrated terminal. See [Customize for your dev setup](https://developers.openai.com/codex/windows/windows-app#customize-for-your-dev-setup). Local setup scripts run in the agent environment: WSL if the agent uses WSL, and PowerShell otherwise. ### Share config, auth, and sessions with WSL The Windows app uses the same Codex home directory as native Codex on Windows: `%USERPROFILE%\.codex`. If you also run the Codex CLI inside WSL, the CLI uses the Linux home directory by default, so it doesn’t automatically share configuration, cached auth, or session history with the Windows app. To share them, use one of these approaches: * Sync WSL `~/.codex` with `%USERPROFILE%\.codex` on your file system. * Point WSL at the Windows Codex home directory by setting `CODEX_HOME`: `export CODEX_HOME=/mnt/c/Users//.codex` If you want that setting in every shell, add it to your WSL shell profile, such as `~/.bashrc` or `~/.zshrc`. ### Git features are unavailable If you don’t have Git installed natively on Windows, the app can’t use some features. Install it with `winget install Git.Git` from PowerShell or `cmd.exe`. ### Git isn’t detected for projects opened from `\\wsl$` For now, if you want to use the Windows-native agent with a project also accessible from WSL, the most reliable workaround is to store the project on the native Windows drive and access it in WSL through `/mnt//...`. ### `Cmder` isn’t listed in the open dialog If `Cmder` is installed but doesn’t show in Codex’s open dialog, add it to the Windows Start Menu: right-click `Cmder` and choose **Add to Start**, then restart Codex or reboot.
