Build Plan hangs indefinitely when applying file edits

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

After recent update, when running Build Plan, the model successfully starts thinking, processes the repository, and communicates with AI APIs. However, the process hangs indefinitely as soon as it attempts to apply changes to any file, regardless of the model selected (e.g., Gemini-3 Pro, GPT-5.1 Codex Max variants). No error messages appear, files remain unchanged, and the run never completes even after 10+ minutes.

Running on WSL2 / WIN11

Steps to Reproduce

Make a Plan using Plan mode, accept it and Build using any model.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Hey, thanks for the report. It looks like a current regression on Windows/WSL in 2.1.47-2.1.49 - we’re already rolling out a temporary fix.

Could you please:

And please send:

  • A screenshot/copy of errors from Help > Toggle Developer Tools > Console at the time of the hang
  • Behavior with cursor --disable-extensions
  • Additional Request IDs from failed attempts (how to get them: Getting a Request ID | Cursor Docs)

Let me know if the workarounds helped. This will help us ship the fixes faster.

Hey, thanks for response.
Yep restarted all, ran with disabled extensions and tried with prompting to build rather than clicking and eventually the full compo helped. Now with all of the workarounds used at once it finally edits files, thank you and please keep me posted if new version will fix the Build button.

with version Version: 2.1.49 now it’s working well

Unfortunately @deanrie after updating to 2.1.50 the issue still exists. Asked for a bigger plan, i can see the plan but when wrote which part of the plan it should built it froze on file edit indefinitely - i saw windows notification ‘approval needeed to edit the file’ but i don’t see anything in the app to accept.

Thanks for the update. It looks like this is still an edit-protection case where the Windows permission prompt appears, but the confirmation UI in Cursor doesn’t render.

Any update? Tremendous chunk of the app is not working still for me
