Settings Reset to Defaults After Restart, Codex

Quick fix

Upgrade to CC Switch v4.0.0 or later; when switching providers or using local routing, it replaces only key fields and preserves other settings and plugins.

Symptom

Error output

English translation

Settings such as appearance, voice configuration, local memory, and the displayed context length return to their defaults after restarting.

Cause

Section titled “Cause”

Older versions wrote the full provider configuration to config.toml, overwriting other Codex settings after switching or using local routing. Comments also mention that Codex plugins were cleared when setting the model list, and that the conversation usage display and link-opening behavior in the Codex desktop app on Windows reset after restart. The maintainer explained that starting with CC Switch v4.0.0, switching providers or using local routing replaces only the endpoint, credential, model, and protocol fields, while other settings and plugins in ~/.codex/config.toml remain unchanged.

Fix

Section titled “Fix”

  1. Upgrade CC Switch to v4.0.0 or later.

  2. Switch providers or use local routing again, then check whether Codex settings and plugins are preserved; if settings still reset on v4.0.0 or later, report the version used and reproduction steps.
