Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue with the new Agent Terminal on Windows.

Try this:

1. Settings Ctrl+Shift+J → Agents → Inline Editing & Terminal → enable “Legacy Terminal Tool”
2. Ctrl+Shift+P → “Terminal: Kill All Terminals” → restart Cursor

Alternative workaround: switch your default terminal to Git Bash:

• Ctrl+, → search for “Default Windows Terminal” → select Git Bash from the dropdown
• Restart Cursor

More details and other workarounds are here: Agent Terminal not working

Let me know if this fixes it.
