Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. I found a related thread where others had similar loading issues. Let’s try some troubleshooting steps:

Network diagnostics: Open Cursor Settings > Network > Run Diagnostics. Could you share a screenshot of the results?

VPN/Proxy check: Are you using a VPN or a corporate network? Some users found VPN interference caused cloud agent initialization issues even when diagnostics passed.

Create an environment file: Create a .cursor/environment.json file in your repository with:

{
    "snapshot": "POPULATED_FROM_SETTINGS"
}

Let me know what the diagnostics show and whether the environment.json file helps!

I’m getting this also on a fresh repo, adding the environment.json made settings UI show up, but I’m still can’t start a cloud agent. Version: 2.0.64
