### Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

### Describe the Bug

When using Windows 11 (tested on Mac and it works correctly), an unexpected behavior occurs while working with the cursor.

A window repeatedly opens and closes by itself, causing the application to constantly lose focus. This results in an erratic and unstable user experience, making it difficult to continue working.

### Steps to Reproduce

open cursor, no more steps

### Expected Behavior

no open a window automatically

### Operating System

Windows 10/11

### Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)

Version: 2.3.29 (user setup)  
VSCode Version: 1.105.1  
Commit: 4ca9b38c6c97d4243bf0c61e51426667cb964bd0  
Date: 2026-01-08T00:34:49.798Z  
Electron: 37.7.0  
Chromium: 138.0.7204.251  
Node.js: 22.20.0  
V8: 13.8.258.32-electron.0  
OS: Windows\_NT x64 10.0.26200

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report.

To help us figure out what’s going on, could you share a bit more info:

- Which exact window is opening and closing? (terminal, panel, popup, or something else)
- A screenshot or a short video showing the issue
- Check the Developer Tools console (Help \> Toggle Developer Tools). Do you see any red errors there?
- Try launching Cursor with extensions disabled from the command line: `cursor --disable-extensions`. Does the issue still happen?

Also try this:

- Restart Cursor as administrator
- Temporarily disable your antivirus or firewall
- Check if Cursor is conflicting with any other apps that are running

Let me know what you find!

When working on **Windows 11** , a window that looks like a **command line / console** keeps opening and immediately closing.  
Because it appears and disappears constantly, it **steals the focus from the active application** , making it extremely hard to work.

The window closes too fast to read its content, so I can’t identify what process is triggering it.

**Impact:**

- Continuous loss of focus

- Interrupts typing and navigation

- Makes normal work almost impossible

**Priority:**  
This issue should be treated as **high priority** , as it severely affects productivity and usability.

My issue was reported here: [Intermittent 1-Second Windows Command Prompt Popups While Using Cursor](https://forum.cursor.com/t/intermittent-1-second-windows-command-prompt-popups-while-using-cursor/146243)  
Is dupliated.  
You could close this and folow the other ticket.

Any news about the fix?  
This issue is seriously impacting my performance, and without a clear resolution timeline, I’m starting to consider switching to another tool.

I created another ticket to solve the issue with the extension: [Command Line Window Steals Focus on Windows 11 with Atlassian extension](https://forum.cursor.com/t/command-line-window-steals-focus-on-windows-11-with-atlassian-extension/149381)

Can confirm it’s happening WITHOUT any Atlassian extension… No new extensions at all. Pretty sure it’s gonna be my 13th reason.
