Cursor ai crashing windows 10

Bug Reports
1

I’m experiencing severe instability with Cursor version 0.50.7. After typing one or two prompts into the AI agent, the application becomes completely unusable — crashing on every click, scroll, or interaction.

I have tried multiple troubleshooting steps including:

  • Deleting temp/cache files
  • Reinstalling Cursor
  • Launching via CMD using:

cmd

set NODE_OPTIONS=
start “” "C:\Users\0cool\AppData\Local\Programs\cursor\Cursor.exe

  • Attempting to generate logs using:

cursor --log trace

cursor --verbose

cursor --crash-reporter-directory C:\Users\0cool

However, no useful logs were generated , and none of these methods resolved the issue.

My system:

  • Windows 10 Home, Version 10.0.19045.5854
  • Node.js v22.16.0
  • Cursor version: 0.50.7 (Commit: 02270c8441bdc4b2fdbc30e6f470a589ec78d600)
  • Architecture: x64

Important notes:

  • The crashes only begin after interacting with the AI agent.
  • VS Code works perfectly fine on the same machine.
  • Even basic actions like clicking or scrolling cause UI freezes or restarts.
  • No crash reports or logs were found in %APPDATA%, %LOCALAPPDATA%, or any custom log directories I set.

This issue is making Cursor completely unusable for me. Please help me find a solution.
