Cursor randomly deleting itself

this is happening to me randomly, just happened now i tried to open a folder with cursor, it didn’t open the app i waited for some time and tried doing it again, second time it deleted itself and i think some kind of refresh happened on my desktop screen and the cursor icon deleted.

sometimes it happens when i first turn on the machine without even interacting with it, it just deletes itself and i have to redownload everytime

im on windows 11 machine

Same here started happening since last week (jan 2025). Using Windows 11 10.0.26100
Have to reinstall Cursor and it works, but pretty annoying.

Hey, if you reinstall the latest version from cursor.com, does this still happen?

I have the same issue. Yesterday I have re-installed the Cursor Setup 0.45.8 - Build 250201b44xw1x2k-x64 and today it has delete itself

The same here, on Windows 11. Since January, 2025. I have already re-installed 3 times in the past month, it deleted itself 3 times. Before January it was all good, had been using Cursor for 4-5 months w/o an issue, but since Jan, 2025 it is…

Yesterday I noticed that Cursor was trying to update after it was closed and has since been deleted.
