Can't Update (Windows blocks update)

Describe the Bug

When I try to update, either through Cursor or by downloading the installer, it won’t update because windows is blocking C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\<random folder>\CodeSetup-stable-1.4.2.tmp

I can choose “unblock”, but since the folder is random, it appears to have no effect, and when I try again, it blocks again but with a different folder name.

Steps to Reproduce

I’m not sure what Windows security policies are enabled exactly. It’s a group policy.

I do have administrator rights (at least to some degree).

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue
