Describe the Bug
I can’t open any file in Cursor when running in WSL only in Windows
It’s saying “disconnected from WSL Ubuntu” too.
I tried rebooting but it didn’t work.
Also, I tried running the command and I’ve got the output below and the error persisted.
Vscode is opening WSL without any problem, so it seems to be a cursor bug.
Hope you can help me out.
Thanks.

Does this stop you from using Cursor
Yes - Cursor is unusable
