Describe the Bug

After installation, cursor wants us to restart. After restarting the program, it will never open again.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install the latest cursor from the website.
  2. After installation, wait cursor to open itself and wait for the “Cursor needs to restart” prompt.
  3. Restart it and kaboom, no more cursor.

Expected Behavior

I should use cursor normally but I cant.

Operating System

Windows 10/11

Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)

0.44.0
e0d6a482c1e7a40f2035787bab666c4487b116d0
x64

Additional Information

When I open cursor as verbose (cursor . --verbose), I get this error code:

[Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open ‘c:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\cursor\resources\app\out@sentry\electron\main.js’] {
errno: -4058,
code: ‘ENOENT’,
syscall: ‘open’,
path: ‘c:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\cursor\resources\app\out\@sentry\electron\main.js’,
phase: ‘loading’,
moduleId: ‘@sentry/electron/main’,
neededBy: [ ‘vs/platform/tracing/electron-main/tracingService’ ]
}
{}

It doesnt matter if I start it as administrator or not, or install as an administrator or not, I get this error.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Hey, do you have the APC extension installed? I noticed the same behavior today, and removing the extension resolved the issue.

Yeah, it is fixed but I wanted to use APC aswell. Is there an alternative?

Not yet, but I’ll let you know if I find it.

I think I have found one, it is from Josh Cirre with this video Making VS Code Beautiful AGAIN (Alternative to APC Customize UI++), which I tested and it works flawlessly for me right now. I hope it helps!
