Cursor is completely broken after update

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

After updating cursor, I am now into my third hour trying to resolve it, it keeps getting stuck while opening, seems now I have 2 versions of cursor running.

I would suggest no one update until they resolve this.

Being a paid member, this hurts much worse.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

What the heck kind of error message is this?

‘your 131072x1 screen size is bogus. expect trouble’

yes, I sure did get some trouble, thanks for pointing it out to me, nothing but trouble came with this update

even though that is not my screen size, it is your bug

cant even uninstall now.

it appears I have been effectively shut down from the ability to use cursor, not sure if I was targeted for some reason, but apparently my business is no longer wanted, which sucks, because I have fallen in love with Cursor.

So I have 2 versions installed now after the update, and can not uninstall the old version, and the new version is not working
