### Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

3.24.18

### Describe the Bug

I did the update to Version 3.24.18 (system setup) on Windows 10 on 14th October 2026. Now none of my existing chats nor new chats work with any model… I just get ‘Connection failed. Please try again, or contact support if the issue persists.’.

The error request states:  
‘Request ID: 841e6e6f-b6d9-4489-96ad-2ff95f60f6c4  
No resource accessor found for composer: baa95df1-8805-4318-8ad8-0201ef85b6b8

When I loaded up for the first time after the update my theme was reset from dark to light (default) - so not sure if settings were reset.

I set the HTTP from HTTP2 to HTTP1.1 and tried HTTP1.0. Whilst this did resolve the network diagnostics to give a tick next to ‘Agent’ and ‘Chat’, the issue with Connection Error persisted for all chats and models.

I restarted my PC and the issue persists.

### Steps to Reproduce

Update Cursor to Version 3.24.18 (system setup) and then type in chat.

### Expected Behavior

The chat won’t answer and it will come up with same connection error popup.

### Operating System

Windows 10/11

### Version Information

3.24.18 (system setup)

### For AI issues: which model did you use?

All models tried.

### For AI issues: add Request ID with privacy disabled

### Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Hey, thanks for the report and for sharing the full error text. That helped a lot.

This is a known issue we’re tracking, and I’ve passed your case to the team. It isn’t a network issue, so switching HTTP versions wouldn’t help. You can safely switch back to HTTP/2. The chat crashes inside Cursor before the request is even sent, when the window has no project folder attached. This usually happens if the window or a saved workspace was restored without any folders inside. A profile reset during the 3.24 install could’ve caused that, which also matches the theme reset you noticed.

To get chats working again:

1. In the editor window, open File \> Open Folder… and choose one of your project folders directly, not a saved workspace and not an item from Recent.
2. Once the folder shows up in Explorer, open a new chat and send a short message.

If you also use the Agents window and it still crashes there:

1. Fully close Cursor, including from the system tray.
2. Press `Win+R`, enter `%APPDATA%\Cursor`, and press Enter.
3. Rename the `Workspaces` folder to `Workspaces.bak`.
4. Start Cursor, open your project folder through File \> Open Folder…, then try a new chat.

Please let me know if the new chat worked after step 2 in the first list, and whether Explorer showed “NO FOLDER OPENED” before you opened the folder. Let me know how it goes.
