Cursor IDE uninstalls itself when trying to update if last window was open in WSL - requires full download/install every time

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Every time an update is available, if the last Cursor IDE window that’s open is running in WSL, the update fails and effectively leaves Cursor uninstalled (not in Start menu, broken toolbar Launch icon, no executable).

I’m not sure when this started, but this has happened on every update for the past few weeks at least.

I have to download the latest copy from the site and re-install the Cursor IDE. Luckily, my preferences/settings/workspaces persist.

I want to be able to close a window without it bricking the entire application.

I have other applications running in WSL, so I don’t want to open a separate terminal to shut the whole thing down.

Even if I was willing to do that, the window is open in WSL. If I shutdown WSL, then the IDE tries to restart it. If I close the IDE first, then I would have to time my WSL shutdown so I kill it before the update process hits and error.

Steps to Reproduce

  • Cursor IDE is open (Windows 11), current window is running in Ubuntu on WSL (Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS - “Jammy Jellyfish”)
  • “A new version is available - restart to update” alert appears
  • Close out IDE window, but WSL is still running
  • Receive error message telling me that certain files/folders are still in use (ie, AppData/ folders)
  • Cursor no longer in start menu, pinned Toolbar Launch Icon becomes unlinked, can’t find executable.

Expected Behavior

Cursor IDE closes, and either updates as-expected, or the update fails graciously, without removing Cursor from my system.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Hi @Cloud_Cray Thanks for the report. This isn’t caused by anything in your setup. It’s a known Windows updater issue we’re tracking.

You don’t need to shut down WSL. To make this less likely:

  1. Set update.mode to manual in Settings (Ctrl+,), then restart Cursor. Closing a WSL window won’t start an install.
  2. When you do update, fully quit leftover Cursor/node processes in Task Manager first (they often aren’t named Cursor).
  3. If you get a “files in use” dialog, don’t click Cancel. End those leftover processes, then Retry.

I’ll post here when there’s an update.

Hey @Cloud_Cray — following up as promised. The Windows updater can now recover from an interrupted install instead of leaving Cursor uninstalled. That change first landed in 3.18 and is in the current stable release, 3.19.19.

If you’re already on 3.18.25 or newer, you have it. If not, a download from Cursor · Download will get you the current build. The real test is your next update, so once you’ve seen a clean one you can switch update.mode back to its default. If Cursor ends up uninstalled again after updating from 3.18 or later, reply here and I’ll take another look. Thanks again!
