Codebase indexing is stuck on “Loading…” and AI responses are taking up to two minutes. It’s not due to slow requests, I have over 300 fast ones left. Disabling HTTP/2, as the docs suggest, made no difference. I have formatted my machine, I also completely uninstalled cursor deleting all the folders and files… obviously no fix. A recent response took 1:29 on “generating” and then stopped without any output. This makes the app unusable and incredibly frustrating. Other users have reported similar problems, but no one has found a solution yet. Some mentioned receiving “handshake failed” errors, which I was experiencing earlier too. Now it’s back to displaying “Loading…” continuously without progress. The really strange thing is I tested it on my wife’s laptop using our same home network and it works fine there! I uploaded a video on Google Drive to demonstrate the codebase indexing stuck on loading and also the slow AI response: [video link](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-96l_2FFIIMHAc7a9sj_Rx34HsqPI0Hu/view?usp=sharing) Version: 0.48.7 (user setup) VSCode Version: 1.96.2 Commit: 1d623c4cc1d3bb6e0fe4f1d5434b47b958b05870 Date: 2025-04-02T05:04:28.547Z Electron: 34.3.4 Chromium: 132.0.6834.210 Node.js: 20.18.3 V8: 13.2.152.41-electron.0 OS: Windows\_NT x64 10.0.19045 ---

# Update It’s working now. Not sure what changed, maybe the Cursor team fixed something, or something else happened. The only thing I did differently was install the latest Visual C++ Redistributable. ---
