Describe the Bug

cursor keep updating

Steps to Reproduce

I installed Cursor on a new computer.
After installation, Cursor told me it needed an update.
I clicked on update, and an error popped up.
Then Cursor restarted.
Cursor kept telling me it needed an update, and this process kept repeating.
Reinstalling Cursor did not solve the problem either.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, Error 0x000007b usually occurs due to an application’s architecture incompatibility with your system.

Unfortunately, Cursor is only available in a 64-bit version and does not have a 32-bit variant.

Possible solutions:

  1. Check your system’s bit version:
    • Start → Settings → System → About
    • If you have a 32-bit Windows, Cursor will not work
  2. If the system is 64-bit, try:
    • Installing Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2015-2022 (x64)
    • Installing the latest version of Microsoft .NET Framework
    • Running the installation as an administrator
    • Temporarily disabling antivirus
  3. Download from the official website: Downloads | Cursor - The AI Code Editor

The issue was resolved. I needed to install a runtime file on Windows, and after that, the cursor worked perfectly.
