Hey, thanks for the report. Let’s gather some diagnostic information to identify the cause:
Could you please share:
Which extensions you have installed? (Run cursor --disable-extensions from your system terminal and check if crashes still occur)
Before the next crash, open Process Explorer (CMD+Shift+P > Developer: Open Process Explorer) and share a screenshot showing which processes are using high CPU/memory
Crash logs from Console.app (search for “Cursor” around the crash time)
Quick tests to try:
Run without extensions: cursor --disable-extensions
Monitor RAM usage in Activity Monitor during your session
Many recent crashes were resolved by removing problematic extensions or fixing network security software.
