Hi,

I am a Pro subscriber on Windows 11, and despite having Cursor Tab enabled, the “ghostwriting” predictive code feature is completely non-functional. While standard Chat (Ctrl+L) works perfectly, inline completions never appear, leaving me with only basic IntelliSense. To resolve this, I have already performed a nuclear clean reinstall (deleting all AppData and .cursor profile folders), toggled the HTTP/1.1 protocol, disabled all extensions to rule out keybinding conflicts, and manually forced the Tab command in my keybindings.json. I’ve also refreshed my session by deleting ide_state.json and re-logging, but the issue persists without any specific error in the Cursor Tab output log.
