Hey, thanks for the report. Unfortunately, this is a known issue that affects multiple users.

Try restoring from a backup:

1. Fully close Cursor
2. Go to `%APPDATA%\Cursor\User\globalStorage`
3. Check the file sizes of `state.vscdb` and `state.vscdb.backup`
4. If the backup file is larger, rename it to `state.vscdb` (make a copy of the current file first)
5. Start Cursor

One user [reported](https://forum.cursor.com/t/lost-chat-history-after-forced-re-login-no-composer-data-handle-found-error/137953/16) a successful restore using this method.

For the future, I recommend:

- Regularly using Export Chat for important conversations
- Backing up the `%APPDATA%\Cursor\User\globalStorage` folder

Let me know if the backup method helped.
