OpenAI has released a major update for its Codex app on Windows, introducing features that were previously exclusive to Mac users. The new version allows the software to control desktop applications by viewing the screen and interacting with elements directly.
The latest release enables desktop control and remote mobile access for Windows users
The update brings computer use capabilities to the Windows platform. The update allows users to guide the AI through multi-app workflows, though it operates only in the foreground on Windows.
Codex version 26.527 operates in the foreground on Windows systems. This design choice means the software takes full control of the desktop environment while executing commands, which prevents simultaneous manual work in the same session.
The update also adds remote mobile access functionality. Users can connect their Windows PC to the ChatGPT mobile app for task steering and review from a distance.
