Cursor Windows Update

exactly, something i did, even tried to update, and that was exactly what i had to do as well

Thanks, Ilya! I will remain @ ver 0.45.15 until they fix the new update.
Looks like it is in their pipeline

Hey, looks like we still had some code that tried to push you to the broken version - just rolled a fix out now, so you shouldn’t get any more broken updates!

same error here

Hey, you should be fine to redownload the installer from cursor.com - that should work without any errors, but let me know if you have any issues

By installing via the temp folder, it opens cursor in administrator version, is this a problem?

Yes, I currently don’t receive the 0.46 version update, and for now, I can continue using version 0.45. I hope this issue gets fixed soon. Thank you.
In order to fix this bug, I’ve already reinstalled and uninstalled Cursor five or six times.
Every time I install it, I have to restart my computer because of the environment variables. This has been an extremely terrible experience.

yes, this is what I observed, I am on 0.45.15 now

Found 0.45.16 installer in Temp folder, reinstalled it. It then attempted to update to 0.46.0, threw the same error, reinstalled 0.46.0 again from Temp folder.

reinstalled to 0.45.15 which got it back working, but then after i closed Cursor and reopened the same issue appeared. unsure if it was doing an automatic update?

The issue is still present?

I see


on 0.45.15, but I’m scared to click the update button.

Here’s the translation of your issue into English:

“Update prompt: Unable to close cursor.exe process; afterwards, the entire cursor disappeared. It needs to be reinstalled, but every time it attempts to automatically update, I have to reinstall it again. I am using Windows 11.”

My Cursor doesn’t open any more and I had the same error about renaming “tools”

Thank you very much, useful

We clearly have problems. The Cursor team already said something? we need to work, we have dead lines. We have paid.

I’ve followed what’s been suggested here and I managed to get the latest 0.46.5 installed. But now I seem to have 2 Cursor and I can’t uninstall the old one.

When I try to install the old one I get the following:

In the vscode settings you can disable the auto updates with setting enableWindowsBackgroundUpdates to false
