NetworkChuck | Switching Back to Windows?

I gave an AI control of my Windows PC. OpenAI made the Codex app Windows-native. it lives in PowerShell, and they built their own Windows security sandbox in 15,000 lines of Rust so the agent can't escape and nuke your machine.

I used it to strip the bloat, lock down Windows Update, and even spin up a Hyper-V hacking lab... and somewhere in there I started to miss Windows again. So this is me asking an honest question: can Codex win me back?


In this video, you'll learn what "Windows-native" actually means for an AI agent, how OpenAI's Codex sandbox isolates the agent using real Windows tools (ACLs, restricted tokens, firewall rules, and dedicated sandbox SIDs), and how to point Codex at your own machine to clean the adware, kill the nags, and stop Windows Update from undoing your work.


Whether you're a Windows sysadmin living in Active Directory, a security nerd who loves a good sandbox, or just someone tired of Microsoft cramming junk into your OS, come nerd out with me.
