Hey, this is a known bug. When the window starts, Cursor tries to restore previously opened git diff tabs (or tabs tied to the git model), and git init gets blocked with no timeout. With multiple workspaces, it’s more likely to happen. We’re tracking this on our side, but there’s no ETA for a fix yet.
A better workaround than opening a new window every time:
- Before you quit, close any git diff tabs or source control views in the affected window. Regular file tabs restore fine.
- Or disable session restore:
Settings→ search forwindow.restoreWindows→ set it tononeorone. Then Cursor won’t try to restore the stuck state.
Related reports for context:
- Cursor is not loading on both of my Mac's - keeps infinitely loading
- IDE's infinite loading when open any existed workspaces
If this fully helps, or if you can still reproduce it even with no diff tabs open, let me know and I’ll update the thread.
