OpenAI Releases Codex for Windows With Native Sandbox and Parallel AI Agents

The Windows launch expands Codex’s agentic coding workflow to PC developers through a native sandbox that supports PowerShell.

Overview

  • Codex is available now in the Microsoft Store for Windows 10 version 19041 or later across ChatGPT Free, Go, Plus and Pro plans.
  • The release includes a Windows‑native sandbox with PowerShell support so agents can operate in real developer environments with containment.
  • Developers can run multiple AI coding agents in parallel, with each task isolated in its own worktree to prevent conflicting changes.
  • Skills and built‑in automations connect agents to tools and workflows to take on repetitive tasks such as bug testing and code validation.
  • Session history syncs to OpenAI accounts for cross‑platform continuity, and the Windows sandbox implementation has been open‑sourced as interest tops a 500,000‑person waitlist and about 1.6 million weekly active users.
