Bug Reports

Describe the Bug

When I load up my project, it automatically loads the last chat and I the UI ends up hanging. I can’t get around it. After a minute or so I get a popup to Reopen, Close, or Wait. How do I tell it to start fresh and not load the previous chat?

Steps to Reproduce

Start Cursor,
Open Project,
Cursor immediately hangs trying to load the previous chat.

Operating System

Windows 10/11

Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)

Cursor Version 1.0.0

Hey, unfortunately, it seems like the issue might be related to a large chat history in your project. Cursor isn’t the best place to store chats. If you need to keep your chat history, you can export it using this extension:

To resolve the issue itself, you can try renaming your project or moving it to a different location on your disk. This will break the link between the project and the chat history, allowing you to continue working.
