Feature Request: Quit Codex completely when I click the X button

Codex
1

Please add a setting (or make a default), that when I click X on Windows, the app quits completely instead of hiding in the system tray.

As it stands, currently it doesn’t fully quit and instead various MCP integrations hold on to system resources. For instance, I created a new folder to perform an action, but after quitting Codex, I can’t delete the folder because it’s in use. I have to locate Codex hiding in the system tray or Task Manager and blast it.

Hi rgelb, I agree that having the app fully close when you click the X button would be a convenient option.

At the moment, I don't think this can be changed from within ChatGPT itself.

I'll pass this feedback along to the product team nonetheless so they can review the request and decide whether it's something they'd like to implement.
