I work under windows environment. When I ask the AI agent to produce some work for me, if I swith to another window to do other works, the cursor interface would freeze, and I have to close it through windows task manager. It’s very troublesome. You can see from the attached screeshot, the cursor disappears here.
Steps to Reproduce
Just open the cursor, ask the agent to compose something, and while he’s working, switch to another window, the cursor IDE would freeze.
We need to confirm details and collect diagnostics:
Does the pattern match: it freezes if the Agent finishes while the Cursor window is not focused
Request ID of the frozen chat: chat menu (top-right) > Copy Request ID
Console screenshot: Help > Toggle Developer Tools > Console at the moment of the freeze
MCP: Settings > search “MCP” - which servers are enabled. Try disabling all MCPs temporarily and restart
Extensions: launch with cursor --disable-extensions and check
Process Explorer: CTRL+Shift+P > Developer: Open Process Explorer - which process is spiking
Update to the latest version and check if the bug still reproduces
As a temporary workaround, try keeping the Cursor window focused when the Agent finishes a step. Let me know if this helps and please share the data above.
