Hey, thanks for the report and for sharing the workaround. This will definitely help other users with the same issue.
Disabling system notifications can indeed help with freezes after the agent finishes. This issue was fixed in version 2.2.43 and later. I’d recommend updating to the latest version (2.3.21+ is currently available) if you haven’t already.
Related threads with fixes:
- Cursor IDE freezing (fixed by updating)
- The Cursor editor completely freezes after the AI finishes its response if I switch focus to another application on a second screen while the AI is generating the output (fixed by updating GPU drivers)
If the issue comes back even on the latest version, also try:
- Check Settings (JSON) and make sure
workbench.editor.showTabsisn’t set to"single" - Check extensions via Extension Monitor:
CMD/CTRL+Shift+P> Developer: Open Extension Monitor
