Hi. I have been reluctant to update to newer versions of cursor due to the many issues my colleagues have experienced. I have been on 1.6.35 and would prefer to stay. However, Cursor is now forcing me to update to the latest version. Is there a way to avoid this for now? Given all my deadlines I really can’t afford to deal with new issues or even getting up to speed on a new console. Would appreciate any helpful advice. Thank you.
