Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
I got a popup in my cursor IDE and I selected later as I was running a Machine Learning task from the cursor and it was writing logs etc
So my whole system was under heavy load and kinda unresponsive
I checked the task manager to kill some other tasks that might be using some resources and I saw inno_updater.exe and it was using around 2-3% of CPU
I was hitting around 94% on my 16 core machine so gaining even 2-3% was quite a lot for me at that point and since I selected later for the updates in the Cursor It shouldn’t be a problem so I ended the inno_updater.exe
And still my system was unresponsive so I stopped the ML from the curosr and closed it and tried to open it again
And I couldn’t cursor open anymore
Its removed from my pc, I got invalid shortcut message
This exact thing happened to me before
Cursor forces updates, even if you select later in the popup it ignores it and forces updates without any warning
And botched my installation, exact same thing again
Steps to Reproduce
When the popup appears click later
keep clicking later for a few days
eventually Cursor will ignore your selection and starts updating in the background
end inno_updater.exe task or restart your pc
Expected Behavior
The cursor should never force updates like that in the background
If the update will be forced atleast inform the user instead of just trying to be sneaky about it
Operating System
Windows 10/11
Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)
I cannot find it now since the installation is corrupted and I am downloading and installing a new version now
