Cursor version 2.1.39 has terminal bug

Support Bug Reports
47

Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue with the new terminal implementation on Windows - the agent can’t see PowerShell command outputs.

Temporary workaround:

  1. Open Cursor settings Ctrl+Shift+J
  2. Go to the Agents > Inline Editing & Terminal tab
  3. Enable “Legacy Terminal Tool”
  4. Press Ctrl+Shift+P > “Terminal: Kill All Terminals”
  5. Fully restart Cursor

If that doesn’t help - try updating to version 2.1.46 (you have 2.1.42), this issue should be fixed there.

Similar: Agent unable to run commands on Windows 11 - fixed with Legacy Terminal Tool

And here: Cursor version 2.1.39 has terminal bug - fixed by updating to 2.1.46

If the problem persists, could you please share:

  • Request ID of the problematic calls (in the chat menu > Copy Request ID)
  • Screenshot of the chat window with the agent, showing “output: 0”

Let me know if this helped. If not, I’ll pass it to the team.
