Hey Luke! Thanks for the detailed report. This is an issue we’re tracking, and I’ll post here when there’s an update.

Good news on the chats: they aren’t lost. Chat history lives in %APPDATA%\Cursor\User\workspaceStorage and reinstalling doesn’t touch it. As long as you reopen the same project folder, the chats should still be there.

Beyond update.mode: manual, a few extra things that have helped others:

  • Fully close Cursor before shutting down, including the tray icon.
  • Add %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\cursor to your Windows Defender exclusions.
  • Try the system installer (CursorSetup-x64 from cursor.com/download) instead of the user installer.

One small thing - the version block you pasted shows 3.6.31, not 3.13.25. Worth grabbing the latest installer from cursor.com/download once you’re set up again.

There’s an ongoing megathread here if you want to follow along.
