Cursor 0.44.8 uninstalls when restarted

Discussion
1

The last coup[le of times I’ve restarted cursor, after i close the program, i return to find it uninstalled entirely. Upon reinstall, all my settings and chat/agent history remains intact as well as my settings and customization. So it’s not so much destructive as it is entirely annoying and a waste of good dev time. Anyone else having this issue? Is there a work around or a fix?

While we’re at it, my cursor terminal has stopped working. I’m having to use the windows terminal to execute commands. The cursor terminal acts like node, or next, or react or any number of dependencies, aren’t installed. won’t run PNPM commands, won’t run scripts. This all began after the implementation of the agents option.

Thanks,
Jason

It is happening every time i close cursor and attempt to reopen. I have to reinstall the software each time. Anyone eon the cursor team seeing this? Obviously, this is problem for me…

Same issue, first time it happened I reinstalled from the version I already had downloaded, now going to download a fresh copy. I think it’s a windows thing

Can you confirm if there was an update waiting to occur before you restarted?

I’ve got a theory that when you shut down Windows, Windows attempts to close Cursor and Cursor then attempts to update itself, but doesn’t finish before Windows shuts down entirely, meaning you’re left with Cursor not installed on the machine.

update solved it.
