Old trick worked. Uninstalled, and reinstall

Hey, glad the reinstall helped. These errors sometimes happen when an update corrupts some files or leaves leftovers from an older version.

If you run into something similar in the future, you can try deleting the %LocalAppData%\Programs\cursor\resources folder before reinstalling. That clears cached modules.
