Cursor IDE Debug Mode Not Working — “Debug Stopped” Popup Issue

Support Bug Reports
2

Hey, thanks for the report. This looks like a known issue with the Python Debugger extension.

Solution: downgrade the Python Debugger extension to v2025.10.0

Steps:

  • Open the Extensions panel Ctrl+Shift+X
  • Search for “Python Debugger” ms-python.debugpy
  • Click the gear icon → “Install Another Version…”
  • Select v2025.10.0
  • Reload Cursor

This solved the same issue here: Cursor IDE can't launch debugpy debugging configurations

Let me know if this helps.
