Desktop on Windows Won’t Connect and Doesn’t Recognize My Plan

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Hi,

I have a Pro Plus account, but the desktop app on Windows is unreliable.

Issues:

App loses connection with large chats.

Today, it does not recognize my plan and fails to connect at all.

Tried:

Uninstall/reinstall

Restarting the app

Checked proxy (none)

Reconnected account

It worked yesterday, so the problem may not be on my side. The app is very unstable and unpredictable, making it difficult to work reliably.

Has anyone else faced this, or is there a known fix?

Thanks!

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Hey, let’s figure this out. Most likely, the “plan not recognized” issue is caused by a connection problem, not billing. If the app can’t reach the server, it can’t confirm your subscription.

I need a couple things to diagnose it:

  • Go to Cursor Settings > Network > Run Diagnostics and paste the results here.
  • Try disabling HTTP/2: in the app settings Cmd + , search for HTTP/2 and enable Disable HTTP/2. Then restart Cursor.
  • Try logging out and logging back in from Cursor Settings.

About “loses connection with large chats”: this is a known issue. Long chats can cause disconnects. A workaround is to start a new chat once the current one gets too big.

Are you using a VPN, proxy, or corporate antivirus? That’s a common cause of issues like this on Windows.

Let me know what the diagnostics show.

I’m fairly sure this is not an HTTP/2 issue and is most likely not a problem on my side. From my perspective, the app is not stable enough to work with, and I cannot rely on it for tasks that require predictable timing.

I’m sorry, but I don’t consider this a stable tool for professional work.

Has anyone else experienced this, or is there a solution?

Thanks!
