dsh-plugin-chatgpt-crash-fix

The ChatGPT desktop app on Windows (Microsoft Store package OpenAI.Codex) frequently exits its entire process tree silently around 60 to 90 seconds after launch, with no OS error dialog. The last log entry typically reads "Checking Windows Store for package updates". The issue commonly surfaces after an interrupted Windows Update or after enabling a Clash-style system-wide proxy, making it notoriously difficult to pin down with stock diagnostic tools.
dsh-plugin-chatgpt-crash-fix turns the troubleshooting workflow into three repeatable steps: triage the crash dump to identify the faulting module (windows-updater.node, 0xC0000005); run read-only checks on the Microsoft Store / Windows Update channel and the local proxy plus its bypass list; and apply a single fix command that first backs up the current proxy configuration, then appends Microsoft domains to the bypass list so Store updates go direct, allowing the app to self-update to a patched build and stop crashing. Every write operation is backed up beforehand and fully reversible with the -Restore flag, while OpenAI traffic continues to route through your proxy to protect account integrity.
This plugin is ideal for Windows desktop ChatGPT users who also run Clash, Verge, or similar system-wide proxies and have started experiencing repeated silent crashes after updates without a clear root cause. It does not modify the application itself; it only touches proxy settings, lists every change before applying them, and guarantees a rollback path, keeping the entire process auditable and safe.
