Archived chats disappear — ARCHIVED group never renders in Agents Window sidebar

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Actual behavior: The chat is completely gone from the UI. No ARCHIVED group renders. Ctrl+Shift+P → Search History also returns nothing for the archived chat.

Additional context: The .jsonl transcript file is still present on disk at %USERPROFILE%.cursor\projects<workspace>\agent-transcripts<uuid>\ — so the data is not lost, only the UI fails to surface it. Restarting Cursor does not fix it.

Workaround: None via UI.

Steps to Reproduce

Open the Agents Window
Right-click any chat → select Archive
The chat disappears from the main list
No ARCHIVED group appears anywhere in the sidebar
Expected behavior: An ARCHIVED section appears below the project groups containing the archived chat.

Operating System

Windows 10/11

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hi @nlapiana Thanks for the forum post! What’s most likely happening is you have archived chats hidden and you just need to tweak the view settings so you can see them. Make sure that Archived is selected as included in the view as shown below.

Thank you Kevin this completely solved my issue!
