Nothing off the above worked for me. I deleted the extension, removed the .codex folder, uninstalled codex_cli, tried the 04.12 version but it still is not opening the connection dialog so that I can log in. It worked till yesterday though, but I guess that the new release that was installed automatically has mixed up things. Do you guys have a hint what I could do to solve this?
The thing that finally worked for me was deleting the CODEX_HOME environment variable. This thing was pointing to something not correct and as soon as I got rid of it I could again log in with VS Code and resume working.
This has fixed my issue in Windows 11
This exactly solved my problem.
Thank you! 
Hola, me funciono esta opción. Instale latest y reinicie VSC. El error se fue y carga todo bien una vez que reinicie VSC.
Pd: Parece que trabaja con VSC y VS 2022 por igual.
Yeah this is the only fix that has worked for me . Thanks
For me the solution was to go into Codex settings and uncheck “Run Codex in Windows Subsystem for Linux”. As soon as I did that the side panel loaded and asked me to sign in to OpenAI.
I do have WSL (v2) installed and running. I use it all the time (outside of vscode).

I’ve tried all the other ideias, but this was the most simple one and obvioslly the last one that actually solved the issue for me hahha.
Similarly for me, simply starting up Docker Desktop seemed to fix the issue. My guess is that because I run Codex inside of devcontainers, it stored some things on Docker that then caused it to fail when Docker wasn’t running.
