Hello,
I have been using Cursor for a few days now. Today I was using Cursor and had to restart my computer. Upon booting Cursor just was not there anymore.
Anyone else experience a similar issue?

Hi @Youp ,
Is it the same behaviour that is reported here:
Do you know the Cursor version that was installed before it occurred?
Are you on Windows?
Hi,
It was the Cursor Setup 0.40.1 - Build 2408245thnycuzj-x64 for windows.
this happened to me a couple times to me too. the whole directory along with the desktop shortcut disappeared out of nowhere for no reason without even having restarted my computer
It is possible it is installing an update. Happened to me same thing.
its still happening any fixes ???
workaround on linux (if the cause is a renamed Appimage after update) ( /home/user/mybin is in my path and is the current directory )
ln -s cursor-0.40.4-build-2409052yfcjagw2-x86_64.AppImage cursor
this was my initial setup, on update cursor seemed to “delete itself” but actually just “renamed itself” resulting in
cursor .
failing to start.
Relinking to the newly-named AppImage in the directory seems obvious but does not seem to work in my case (the symbolic link remains red). I chalk it up to random linux behavior and remove the cursor symbolic link.
rm /home/user/mybin/cursor
ln -s cursor-0.41.1-build-2409189xe3envg5-x86_64.AppImage cursor
this solved the issue in my case
So I turned off my PC right after closing Cursor and next day - poof - gone. The folder is entirely empty.
I assume its a problem with the updater being interrupted by the shutdown? It probably runs after closing Cursor, just like it does with VSCode - but I never experienced this issue with VSCode.
I’m loosing my mind over this, did you find any solutions ?
