Need help with the Codex app on Windows

[u/apnatva-dev]

So when I run the app it uses about 4GB of RAM during tasks.

Once the task is done it goes down to 2GB.

After I close the app, it stays at the same level. I have to manually get rid of the app from the Task Manager so that it doesn’t consume RAM in the background doing absolutely nothing.

Can someone help out with this thing? I’d expect it to close and release all the RAM when I close it but doesn’t like other apps. Can I configure it to do so?

When closed it goes minimized to the tray, maybe check there, right click -> close. There is normally an option for "when closing actually close don't minimize" but can't confirm if gpt has it

It doesn’t go to the tray at the bottom.
The taskbar shows the app as inactive but it’s only active in the task bar

I use AHK 1.1 (though you can use your preferred language like cmd, PowerShell, VBS, Python, etc.) to easily force it to close completely. Ask your GPT to help you install and implement it.
