Chat stopped working yesterday

Hi, the chat stopped working yesterday. I dont know why, I tried to log out and in again. Restarting the computer, turning off my VPN (Have had cursor + vpn running for about a year with no problems). I even unistalled cursor and reinstalled it. But nothing of the “easy fixes” solves this issue.

When i submit a question to the chat this is what happens in the Developer Tools → Console:

My system information from Cursor-> Help → About:

same issue - cursor is down for me

Hi @JonasHagstrom79

Did you follow these instructions to remove it?

And did you add any extensions?

Hi, I did not clean everything when i uninstalled it seems.
The link that you provided and doing this:
Windows - Delete %APPDATA%\Code and %USERPROFILE%\.vscode. Got Cursor up and running for me again, thanks alot for the help :slight_smile:

Happy to help :blush:

Hey, I have a similar (same?) issue.
I can no longer chat within a singular chat instance. It is possible to do so in another, newly created one, for example. But since this one has all my context it would really impact me quite a bit if I had to start a new one.

If I were to uninstall and reinstall Cursor, would I retain the chats from before?

This is how it looks when I press Enter in chat.

Any answer to this?

Hi @raphaelloder ,

You might want to start a new topic with details from following these steps (also include what LLM you have selected in the Chat):

https://docs.cursor.com/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-guide

Depending on how much free time you have at the moment, you may also be interested in making a back up of sorts by following the steps here:

I followed the steps the other day and found it quite interesting (only took 10 mins or so), I had a chat going with Chat GPT at the same time to ask questions about the process that I wasn’t sure of, and it had no problems answering them.

Any instructions for Macs? I keep having to re-train the chat on the project i’m working on and its a bit painful.
