Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

Describe the request

Frequently hit installing issues on work PCs - on Windows, Cursor installs under user folder which is sometimes org-controlled. This lead to cursor uninstalling itself in every update, and I have to install manually again about twice a week.
Supporting customizable install path will be a good solution to this problem.

Hey there! Cursor on Windows installs under the user profile today, and there isn’t a supported custom install location setting. If your org locks down that folder, updates can fail or look like an uninstall. Best path for now is to loop in your IT team on how they want managed apps installed. We’ve let the team know this would help for locked-down Windows environments.
