Cursor Crashes Constantly After Latest Update (code: ‘5’) — Cannot Work at All

The fix for me was moving my project out of an iCloud-synced folder.
Cursor tends to crash when the workspace is inside Desktop or Documents if those are synced with iCloud.

Solution:

  • Create a local folder outside iCloud, e.g. ~/dev

  • Move your project there

  • Reopen it in Cursor

After moving the project out of iCloud, the crashes completely stopped.
