Hey, thanks for the report. This symptom looks familiar, we already have similar WSL reports, for example this thread WSL: all extension icons break after restart (vscode-remote-resource:// blocked by CORS + ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME). It has a detailed breakdown. In a WSL session, icon assets are served via vscode-remote-resource:// and sometimes get blocked with ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME or CORS, which breaks rendering until you reload the window.

To link your case to the existing issue, could you confirm a couple things?

  1. Does it happen every time you open Cursor, or only sometimes?
  2. Open DevTools via Help > Toggle Developer Tools > Console right after startup while the icons are still blank. Do you see errors about vscode-remote-resource://, CORS, or ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME? A console screenshot would help.
  3. If you open Cursor locally without WSL, do the icons load normally?

For now the workaround is the same one you found, run Developer: Reload Window via Ctrl+Shift+P. We’re tracking the bug, but I can’t share an ETA yet. I’ll post an update as soon as we have one.
