Frequent Freezes in Cursor AI IDE - Any Solutions?

Bug Report
1

Hi everyone,

I’ve been experiencing frequent issues with the Cursor AI IDE. The application tends to freeze every 1-2 hours, and I have to restart it to get back to work. This has become quite annoying, especially when I’m in the middle of coding sessions.

In the Activity Monitor, I notice a lot of tasks related to Cursor AI, which makes me think the problem might be tied to the application’s process management. My computer is fairly powerful, so I don’t suspect it’s a hardware issue on my end.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so, have you found any solutions or workarounds to prevent these freezes from happening? I’ve attached a screenshot from my Activity Monitor for reference.

Thanks for your help!

I have the same issue. I’m using an M3 MacBook Pro with 36GB RAM, so hardware shouldn’t be an issue. The codebase I’m working with is quite large; perhaps that could contribute to the problem? I have to restart very frequently.

Hello,

Information from the following may assist in further troubleshooting.

Copy/paste system info from:

Cursor > Help > About

Check for any relevant logs or errors in the following locations:

Open developer tools via:

Cursor > Help > Toggle Developer Tools

and then click Console and see if there are any related errors.

Also see the parent folder of the folder that is opened when doing:

  • Ctrl + Shift + P (to open command palette in Cursor)

  • Typing and selecting Developer: Open Logs Folder

You can also view logs in Cursor > Terminal > Output and then click on the dropdown and select Window or one of the other Cursor specific options, such as Cursor Tab or Cursor Indexing & Retrieval.

@litecode really annoying. Can’t work with comfort even though I paid for premium

I realized that one of my VSCode extensions was causing the lag. I deleted the extensions one by one, narrowed it down, and now it works well!
