Whenever Cursor has an update, I always click the “install now” button. After Cursor comes back up Git does not reconnect / initialize.
I have to close and open a new instance
Steps to Reproduce
When Cursor has an update
Click “Install Now” from the popup within the IDE
When Cursor comes back up after updating then observe that Git does not initialize
Expected Behavior
After update, all extensions and Git startup properly
Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known pattern. The extension host sometimes doesn’t come up correctly after an in-place window relaunch, which is what happens with “Install Now”. Because of that, the Git extension doesn’t activate and you see “No source control providers registered”. We’re tracking the issue, but there’s no ETA for a fix yet.
For now, the workaround is exactly what you’re doing. Fully close and reopen Cursor instead of updating via relaunch. Another option is to do a close and reopen right after “Install Now” so you don’t end up in a half-loaded state.
