Hey all!
Sorry for the confusion here. Let me (hopefully) clear things up.
Switching “Open Agents Window at Startup” to Off results in Cursor restoring the last used window on startup, rather than always defaulting to the Agents Window. It does not necessarily mean that the IDE becomes the default.
If you’ve set “Open Agents Window at Startup” to Off, and the last window you had opened was the IDE, you should be taken to the IDE when reopening Cursor.
Feedback heard that this doesn’t solve the issue of restarting your computer completely and not preserving the previous Windows. Will share that with the team!
We’re currently working to clarify the setting (and probably renaming it) so that it does what it sounds like!
