Cursor is painfully slow

Bug Reports
1

I’m a paid, Pro user. I’ve noticed my Cursor interface getting slower and slower, to the point I have to wait multiple seconds for the screen to respond.

I’ve only noticed this in the past week or so, and it’s been getting progressively worse.

Here’s an extract from my Windows Process Explorer - not pretty!

I’ll also upload a screenshot of my Process Explorer in Cursor in a reply. (Apparently I can’t do two in a single post as a new user :roll_eyes:).

Here are the details about my current Cursor version:

Version: 0.45.10
VSCode Version: 1.96.2
Commit: xxxx
Date: 2025-02-05T06:20:28.304Z
Electron: 32.2.6

Node.js: 20.18.1
V8: 12.8.374.38-electron.0
OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.19045

My laptop isn’t the most powerful but it has reasonable specs.

Any suggestions?

Hey, try starting in safe mode using this command in the terminal: ⁠cursor --disable-extensions, and see if Cursor behaves the same way.

Hey @deanrie . Thanks for the suggestion.

Is that the same as manually disabling all the extensions?

Can you also clarify which “Terminal” you are referring to? The Terminal in Cursor, or do you mean the Windows command line? Or something else?

No, this will temporarily disable all extensions. Upon restart, all your extensions will be active again. Yes, I meant the command line.

@deanrie Thanks for clarifying.

I’ve tried that and I think I saw a very slight improvement but it’s still problematic.

I do have a fairly long Composer chat going on, but I would prefer not to start a new one as there is a bunch of context in there that is important to my current project.

Any suggestions?

You can now refer to your previous Composers, try this.
