For Windows `code` symlink: There are 2 (maybe more can work) ways that worked for me - A. 1. Go here and remove all the files named `code`: `c:\Users\\AppData\Local\Programs\cursor\resources\app\bin` 2. Restart your terminal B. As @a-hussien mentioned, “ **Move up** ” your `VScode` path upon the `cursor` path on the environment variables’ **Path** table: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/2X/4/49d013d2a849b0acc7aebc4bdc8554330809e8db.png) In my case, the `VScode` path was inside the “user **Path** variables” table, and the `cursor` path was inside the “system **Path** variables” table. I added the `VScode` path (copied from the “user…table”) to the “system…table” and moved it up. If we’re in the same boat, now, you have a choice to make. Either take both to the same table and reorder, or delete one from one table and add to the other. However, be careful, system **Path** variables get higher priority over user **Path** variables!
