my working workaround (Windows 11)
- close all cursor instances
- uninstall in → control panel → programs and features
- delete %appdata%/Cursor
- install v2.1.42 from GitHub - oslook/cursor-ai-downloads: All Cursor AI's official download links for both the latest and older versions, making it easy for you to update, downgrade, and choose any version. 🚀
- be happy and don’t upgrade anymore
