I am using Cursor for development in the default Ubuntu environment of WSL on Windows 11. My workflow involves creating Laplacian pyramids from multiple images, which eventually generates a single TIFF file larger than 30MB.
Whenever I click on this TIFF file within Cursor, the software stops responding. After a while, clicking again triggers the error shown in the attached image, and the editor becomes completely unusable.
I have tried the following troubleshooting steps without success:
-
Returning to the native Windows 11 environment: The issue persists.
-
Restarting Cursor 5-6 times: Eventually, it results in a completely blank white screen with no UI displayed.
-
Uninstalling and reinstalling Cursor: The issue remains.
-
Completely wiping Cursor: I deleted the user configuration files and removed all Cursor-related registry entries before reinstalling, but the problem still occurs.
I then added the --disable-gpu flag to the startup shortcut ("C:\Program Files\cursor\Cursor.exe" --disable-gpu). This allows Cursor to launch, but I still frequently encounter this error. I usually have to click “New Window” once or twice to get it working again, which is extremely frustrating.
My System Specs:
-
CPU: Intel Core i9
-
GPU: NVIDIA D V2 (24GB) (RTX5090，24GB)
-
Motherboard: ASUS PRIME B760M-PLUS
-
RAM: 32GB Kingston Beast
-
Storage: 2x 512GB M.2 SSDs
Has anyone else experienced this issue or found a permanent solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
