Cursor 2.2.36 is crashing frequently

Support Bug Reports
2

Hey, thanks for the report. Error code 5 is a known issue in version 2.2.x, and the team is working on a fix.

Try these temporary workarounds:

  1. Launch Cursor without extensions:
   cursor --disable-extensions

  1. If the issue goes away, find which extension causes the crash: Cmd+Shift+P > Developer: Open Extension Monitor

  2. If it doesn’t help, try disabling the GPU:

   cursor --disable-gpu

For accurate diagnostics, we need logs:

  • Cmd+Shift+P > Developer: Open Logs Folder - send the error log file
  • Cmd+Shift+P > Developer: Toggle Developer Tools > Console tab - a screenshot of errors when the crash happens

Let me know if this helps.
