[Bug][Windows][3.30.30] The agent execution provider did not respond in time

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Hello,

When I select a folder as project (including a new, empty local folder), Cursor prompts fails with:

“The agent execution provider did not respond in time. This may indicate the extension host is not running or is unresponsive.”

It occurs even with a minimal repro path such as C:\cursor-test\ (local disk, not cloud-synced) and with extensions disabled.

Without selected folder, Cursor works just fine.

Would you kindly help me?

Thanks,

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

This is a known bug with the Glass layout on Cursor 3.3.30. When you open a folder that hasn’t been previously “trusted,” Glass silently blocks the agent from starting (unlike the classic editor, which shows a trust prompt). Our team has a fix in review.

Workaround — trust the folder via classic mode:

  1. Open a command prompt and run: cursor --classic C:\cursor-test

  2. A “Do you trust the authors of the files in this folder?” dialog will appear. Click Yes, I trust the authors.

  3. Close that window and re-open the folder normally in Cursor (Glass). The agent should now work for that folder.

You’ll need to do this once per folder you open for the first time. Once the folder is trusted, it stays trusted.

Alternative: Add "security.workspace.trust.enabled": false to your settings.json (File > Preferences > Settings > search “workspace trust” > uncheck “Workspace Trust Enabled”). This disables trust checks globally. However, since you’re on an enterprise team, check with your IT admin first — they may enforce this setting.

The permanent fix (which adds a trust prompt directly in Glass) should ship in an upcoming release.

Let me know if either workaround helps!

Workaround works like a charm - thank you!
