# NousResearch/hermes-agent · WSL2 socket path fix for Windows cua-driver.exe

- #80227: computer_use WSL: _EmbeddedCuaDaemon generates Unix socket path for Windows-side cua-driver.exe (OS error 123)
- PR #80252: fix(computer_use): use Windows named pipe socket path for .exe cua-driver under WSL2
- PR #139111: fix(computer-use): support WSL Windows CUA driver interop (os error 123)

These items address a bug where the embedded CUA daemon generates a Unix socket path instead of a Windows named-pipe path when the driver command is a Windows .exe running under WSL2, causing OS error 123. The work involves correcting the socket path logic to use the appropriate Windows named-pipe format in that context.
