Support Help

Hi, I just started using Cursor and used it to build an app yesterday using claude code. I reopened Cursor this morning and the green bar is just move to the right over and over appear to try to resolve to open the app location but nothing is happening. How do I get this fixed so I can continue to work on my app build. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hey, this is a known bug. Cursor can freeze on startup if Claude Code tabs were left open in the previous session. It’s the exact same symptom as in your screenshot.

Workaround to get access to the project again:

  1. Fully close Cursor. Use Task Manager or Force Quit if it’s stuck.
  2. Launch Cursor from the command line with extensions disabled:
    cursor --disable-extensions
    If the cursor command isn’t found, open Cursor normally, then press Cmd+Shift+P or Ctrl+Shift+P and run Install ‘cursor’ command.
  3. Once the project opens, close all Claude Code tabs like Convert HTML to Next.js…
  4. Restart Cursor normally. It should open without freezing.

For next time, close Claude Code tabs before quitting Cursor so the bug doesn’t trigger. The issue is being tracked, but there’s no ETA for a fix yet.
