Can I comeback to open Cursor directly at my workspace or folder?

Now Cursor always opens at that light screen with new agent and options, instead of the folder i ask it to open, in Windows:

Hey, thanks for the screenshots. I can see it’s opening the Agents Window instead of your folder, plus the Windows context menu item Abrir com Cursor. This is known behavior. Here’s how to get folder opening back:

  1. Go to Cursor Settings (not VS Code settings) > General > Startup > Window Restoration and set it to Last Used Windows.
  2. You need to break the loop once. In the Agents Window press Ctrl+Shift+N or use File > Open Editor Window, then open your folder there, close the Agents Window, and quit Cursor from the editor window. Next launch should restore the editor with your folder.
  3. From terminal, cursor -n <folder> always opens the classic IDE in a new window, even if the last window was Agents Window. Regular cursor <folder> can send the folder to a new agent if the last window was Agents Window.

There’s no separate always open editor option yet. Last Used Windows plus quitting from the editor window is the current workaround. In some builds the toggle may still be ignored. It’s on our radar but there’s no ETA. If it still drops you into Agents Window after these steps, reply with your Cursor version from Help > About and we’ll dig in.
