When I run top in a separate terminal, cursor is using 97 to 100% CPU, constantly, from the moment I open the app until the moment I close it. My laptop’s battery is draining much, much, much, much faster than I’ve ever seen.
Nothing can happen. I can’t delete a file, create a file, edit a file. When I click on a file xyz.ipynb, a blue line scrolls left-to-right across the top of the window, repeatedly, but no cells load. I can’t use any file.
@deanrie, the Cursor terminal’s Output is completely blank. The task.log file is completely blank. I’ve never experienced an app that appears normal but does nothing and uses 100% cpu constantly. Please, help?
I’ve tried closing it and reopening. I restarted my computer. Not much else running on the laptop. I’m able to use chrome and submit this message while Cursor IDE is open, so it hasn’t crashed my computer yet.
At one point, I closed it, the opened VS Code to uninstall a bunch of extensions. Then I closed VS Code and tried Cursor again. Still top says 97-100% CPU is cursor, but cursor can’t even show a file or terminal output or logs.
Unfortunately, an upstream provider of some dependancies push an update without notifying us, which has caused our latest update to break on some Linux installations.
We have resolved the issue with the provider, and should be pushing out a new update in 24-48 hours. You may have to redownload the latest version from the website, as auto-updating might be broken, but you can keep an eye on Changelog | Cursor - The AI Code Editor for when the new version is available!
Sorry for the inconvenience caused, we have put precautions in place to avoid this in the future.
