Since today 4/4/2026 i update to last version, curson have being unusable they keep returning error and error this is the error that im getting
Connection to Cursor server failed: [wsl exec: installServerScript] Command failed with exit code 4294967295: stdout: Catastrophic failure Error code: Wsl/Service/E_UNEXPECTED
im currently using wsl i had this issue in the past and i just shutdown the wsl, but this time not matter what i do the error keep pumping, restarted, shutdown wsl, nothing work.
Hey, thanks for the report. I can see the screenshot with the error. The Wsl/Service/E_UNEXPECTED error usually means the WSL service itself can’t start properly. That’s on the Windows side, not Cursor.
Try these in order:
In PowerShell run wsl --shutdown, then reopen Cursor
Update WSL: wsl --update
Inside WSL delete Cursor server files rm -rf ~/.cursor-server, then reconnect
If that doesn’t help, reinstall the WSL extension in Cursor. First close the remote connection with Ctrl+Shift+P then Remote: Close Remote Connection. Open a local project, find the WSL extension, uninstall it, restart Cursor, then reinstall it when prompted.
Also, you said it’s “just for go repos”. Can you clarify? Do other projects work fine through WSL? If yes, it might be something specific to the Go workspace, not a general WSL issue.
