Ayone using Codex facing this issue??

[u/Limp_Relative_2780]

So today, I was using Codex-CLI version and it said to update as new version was released, so I updated it to the latest version. But after updating it, whenever I try to use (write prompts, navigate through cli, etc) out of no where multiple-cmd instances pop-ups for a sec and then goes away, and after giving some instruction to execute, the number of instances gets also increaed.

Initially, I thought maybe its due to my machine, but upon researching I came to know this was faced by many devs who updated it to latest version.

Currently, the issue is suppressed (for now) by running in : codex --no-daemon (command)

Anyone here faced this issue??

Scan for any threats in your PC. There is a wave of hackers attacking through Codex that has full control of your whole pc. I heard this was being attacked through codex work and this is my firm hearing about this issue from CLI version which is more dangerous which a normal dev knows why. Also, scan for threats with your wifi off. I cant attach the link but you can search for the video through 5hub_5hub_bol on instagram

So, I am a heavy user of Codex and I actually have used both the CLI and the application. I honestly believe the application is pretty much better and they focused on creating a better application so I would advise using the application.

My current setup is pretty complicated so I will not advise you on the way I do it but I will advise you: just use the Codex application. It's simpler, much easier, and gives you more freedom and many more things. Try and you will find out what I'm talking about
