Cursor agent mode is not able to make any edits

Describe the Bug

Cursor agent mode is not able to make even simple changes. I am able to make changes and save file from cursor manually, but agent cannot so it is not a permission issue. It fails repeatedly and then either makes wrong edits or asks me to do it. I am running Cursor as administrator.

Steps to Reproduce

Run cursor in agent mode on any folder in C: drive and ask to make changes
