[image] I got an update available while in 0.46.3, and errored while installing. I confirm there’s no Cursor processes running other than the update installer. Now Cursor doesn’t open at all. What do I do?

If you’re seeing the renaming tools error, can you go to C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Programs\cursor\ and then delete the folder with an underscore (folder named _)?

I don’t believe it’s fixed, after a fresh install don’t click “Update”. Additionally, I have noticed that the fresh installation available on the website does not include the latest Agent changes.

Cursor is severely broken after the latest update. It’s extremely slow, produces errors with simple updates, and the diff algorithm is failing. Reverting to older versions doesn’t fix it.

Getting the same issue. Between this and the anthropic errors over the last few days Cursor has been useless.

No, I have tried all. 44.11, 45.15 and 46.6. Nothing works anymore.

The same thing: There was an error while opening file handle: “C:\Users.…\AppData\Local\Programs\cursor\managed_context\metadata.json”: Failed to create file handle: Access denied. Please verify there are no Cursor processes still executing.

Yes, that works, however, triggering the check for updates / install option still results in same error. (and you need to delete the cursor-updater contents)
