Hi @Ozzy1 Try reinstalling Cursor, in 99% of cases, that helps. The process is described here: > **[Cursor - Build Software Faster](https://docs.cursor.com/troubleshooting/common-issues#how-do-i-uninstall-cursor)** > > Built to make you extraordinarily productive, Cursor is the best way to code with AI. ---
