Can't download extensions on Cursor windows

[ChengHua926]

version 0.46.7, windows

can’t seem to install extensions on Cursor, when searching for extensions in Cursor, it always says “error while fetching extensions. Failed to fetch”

I tried following the documentation from the website at: How to Install Any VSCode Extension

it seems to be outdated, and when I click install from the market place website, it installs to VSCode and does not sync over to Cursor. Had no problem installing those extensions onto VSCode

Can’t figure out a way to install any extension right now.

Hey, try restarting Cursor and trying again. If that doesn’t help, share a screenshot of the errors from the DevTools panel.

Do you use a VPN? If yes, try turning it off, if not, try turning it on.

I don’t use a VPN and don’t have one configured right now. Do I need one for cursor?

[deanrie]

Cursor doesn’t require a VPN, but it seems you have issues with your internet connection. This could be due to a firewall, antivirus, or other software controlling your connection. Check these settings to resolve the issue.

extension market place worked after I turned off the macafee firewall
