Hey, thanks for the report. We’re seeing a wave of crashes after the recent updates, mostly on Windows with OOM errors. There are fewer Linux crashes at this scale, but the issue is still there.
We need a bit more info to understand what’s happening on your side:
Diagnostics:
- What exactly is the error when it crashes? (error text, error code, or does it just freeze?)
- Open Developer Tools (
Ctrl+Shift+P> Developer: Toggle Developer Tools > Console). Do you see lines like[otel.error]orOTLPExporterError? - Try running
cursor --disable-extensionsfrom the terminal. Does it still crash?
Possible workarounds (based on Windows users with similar crashes):
- Rotate chats. Start a new one when the current chat gets big, especially with agent workflows.
- Watch memory usage:
Ctrl+Shift+P> Developer: Open Process Explorer, keep an eye on the renderer process.
Related threads (mostly Windows, but the pattern looks similar):
- Cursor crashes repeatedly with out-of-memory (OOM) errors after the latest update, especially during large prompts or long-running plans
- After updating today Cursor constant crashing
The team is aware of the stability issues after the last update, and there’s an active ticket for a fix. Share the diagnostic info so we can understand what’s specific about the Linux case.
