Hey, thanks for the report. This might be happening because your project is launching background processes, like linters or other analyzers. Try opening a different project to see if the issue persists. Also, try booting in safe mode using this command in the terminal: cursor --disable-extensions. Please also check Activity Monitor and Process Explorer.
