## Title

    User-reported workaround: switch Windows sandbox to unelevated (source-backed, not verified by KFA)

## Body

    Source-backed, not verified by KFA. Several external users reported that this restored command execution (https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/52094#issuecomment-6086181359, https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/52094#issuecomment-6085140103). One reported that an edit made while the app was running was overwritten back to elevated, so close the app first (https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/52094#issuecomment-6061029031). The rename was not needed for one user and was combined with the config change for another. This is not a confirmed fix, and unelevated mode may have different security properties; review before use.
