Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

Hey, thanks for the report. Could you run the agent with the --debug flag and share the logs?

I am using cursor-agent 2025.10.02-bd871ac on windows WSL

Do you think this is the same issue reported on this thread? If yes, apologies for troll-like behaviour.

Can you suggest if I can downgrade (if yes, to which version) the cursor-agent terminal so that this issue goes away? Also any idea when this can be fixed?
