Hey, thanks for the report. Intermittent freezes are often caused by extensions or specific settings. Let’s diagnose:

Quick tests:

  • Test without extensions: run cursor --disable-extensions from your terminal and use Cursor for a few hours. Do freezes still occur?
  • Check this setting: open settings.json (Ctrl+Shift+P → “Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)”) and look for "workbench.editor.showTabs": "single». If present, remove it or change to "multiple". This setting has caused freezes for several user.
  • Check resource usage: before the next freeze, press Ctrl+Shift+P → “Developer: Open Process Explorer” and take a screenshot of any process with high CPU/memory.
  • Event Viewer logs: open Windows Event Viewer → Windows Logs → Application and look for Cursor entries around the freeze time.

Let me know what you find.
