Hey, this is a known issue where the extension host process crashes and causes a 16-second timeout. It’s been reported in a few versions, including 2.4.x and now 2.5.0.
A few things to try:
-
Clear the workspace database (this helps a lot of users):
- Fully close Cursor
- Delete or rename this file:
C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Roaming\Cursor\User\globalStorage\state.vscdb - Restart Cursor (you’ll need to sign in again)
-
Start without extensions to rule out an extension conflict:
- Run in a terminal:
cursor --disable-extensions - If it works, enable extensions one by one to find the one causing it
- Run in a terminal:
-
Full reinstall. Sometimes a clean install fixes leftover state issues after updates
The team is aware and actively tracking this.

Let me know if any of the steps helped.
