Cursor version 2.5.22 is unusable

Hey, we need to check a few things since you actually have two different issues happening at the same time.

Windows restart crashes are very unusual. We need to understand what exactly is happening:

  • Does Cursor crash and restart by itself, or does Windows reboot?
  • Are you running long chat sessions before the crash? If yes, this could be a known Windows renderer out-of-memory issue. The process can hit the ~4 GB memory limit and crash. You can monitor this via Ctrl+Shift+P > Developer: Open Process Explorer.

If the editor specifically freezes right when the agent asks for confirmation, try this:

  1. In Cursor: Settings > General > Notifications, turn off System Notifications
  2. In Windows: Settings > Notifications, find Cursor and turn it off

Slow AI replies: please run the network diagnostics: Cursor Settings > Network > Run Diagnostics and paste the results here. Also try this: Settings Ctrl + , > search for “HTTP/2” > enable “Disable HTTP/2”. This helps on some networks.

Can you share the crash logs too? Check %APPDATA%\Cursor\logs for any recent crash files.
