Hey try this solution: > [@The last update kills Cursor](https://forum.cursor.com/t/the-last-update-kills-cursor/55355/5): > > Same. I killed the updater process, which killed Cursor entirely. I didn’t uninstall, but re-installed from the website. Sadly, that meant back to 0.45 Then I found the update installer at this location. Closing Cursor and installing from this file worked and I’m on 0.46.5 now. v ---

But it will update automatically when I close cursor, what should I do? close auto update or what? ---

When installing using the downloaded installer (currently 0.45.15), uncheck ‘Launch Cursor’ before clicking ‘Finish’, then install 0.46.5 from Temp location. ---

I’m having the same problem, after this error I can’t open the cursor, clicking on it doesn’t respond. I don’t want to use appdate’s CodeSetup-stable-0.46.5.exe for a temporary installation, it’s not a real installer and I can’t customize the installation location, I hope the official fix soon. ---
