Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue in version 2.6.11. Multiple users are seeing the same code 5 crash after updating. There’s a larger thread tracking it here: Cursor keeps crashing - 2.6.11

A couple of things you can try:

1. Switch to the Nightly build. Some users say the crash is fixed there. You can change your release track in Cursor Settings.

2. Downgrade to 2.5.x. Uninstall and install the previous version. Not ideal, but it works as a workaround.

3. Before that, try these quick checks:

   • Run cursor --disable-extensions to rule out extensions
   • Run cursor --disable-gpu to rule out a GPU or rendering issue
   • Make sure your project isn’t inside an iCloud-synced folder (Desktop or Documents). Move it to something like ~/dev

The team is aware of this. If you want to help us narrow it down, please grab these when the crash happens:

• Logs: Help > Open Logs Folder, then share main.log around the crash time
• Process Explorer: Cmd+Shift+P > Developer: Open Process Explorer, then take a screenshot right before a crash

Let me know how it goes.
