Accept/Reject buttons won't work from Windows Action Center

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

When the program is minimized, and the running agent needs a confirmation for an action, it sends a notification to the Windows Action Center with two buttons: Accept and Reject. But clicking this buttons doesn’t perform any actions, so the agent remains waiting for the resolution.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Run an agent
  2. Minimize the program
  3. Wait until the agent requests a confirmation and sends a Windows notification
  4. Press the Accept or Reject button

Expected Behavior

The action is accepted or rejected

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hi @Oleg_Mastriukov,

Thank you for reporting this issue. I wanted to confirm that you’re experiencing the same behavior I observed: when clicking “Accept,” the window unminimizes, but the action itself (whether accept or reject) is never processed.

Please let me know if this matches what you’re seeing.

Sometimes, after pressing the notification button, it indeed unminimizes the program and does not accept/reject the action. But more often, pressing the button just closes the notification without opening the program or accepting/rejecting the action.

Thanks @Oleg_Mastriukov!

Unfortunately, I’m unable to reproduce today (same version and all).

Could you try and reproduce this with Help > Toggle Developer Tools opened and record if there are any console errors the next time it fails?

I think the issue is resolved now because I couldn’t reproduce it in 3.1.15. It takes a while sometimes after you press the Accept button until it actually accepts the action in the chat but it’ll do so evenually.

Thanks for following up @Oleg_Mastriukov! If it happens again let us know.
