### Where does the bug appear (feature/product)? Grok Bot ### Describe the Bug Existing bots on my shared Bot computer cannot start a desktop/browser. Screenshot and computerUse fail with: `All screens on the shared computer are in use. Try again in a moment.` This is not a single-bot issue: at least two older bots fail the same way. Shell and chat work; in-box `box-doctor` reports all PASS. Clearing local sand-window lock files under `/tmp` does not help. Settings → Computer → Update Bot’s Computer shows the computer is already the latest version — there is no Update button. I have **not** pressed Reset. Diagnostic: I created a **new** bot. At **2026-11-06 ~12:58 Asia/Hong\_Kong** that new bot’s Screenshot **succeeded** (empty desktop UI; no “All screens in use”). So host capacity is not exhausted; older bots’ screen leases appear stuck. Box uptime was still multi-hour (instance not rematerialized by Update). Browser-dependent daily work was blocked until done manually. ### Steps to Reproduce - On an older existing bot, ask for a Screenshot or any browser/desktop step. - Observe: `All screens on the shared computer are in use. Try again in a moment.` - Ask a second older bot — same error. - Open Settings → Computer → Update Bot’s Computer — UI says already latest; no Update action. - Create a brand-new bot; ask it to Screenshot — succeeds (~12:58 HKT on 2026-11-06). ### Expected Behavior Existing bots get a working desktop/browser again. Please refresh this account’s Bot computer from the latest backup **without Reset** , clearing stuck screen leases (as discussed in related forum threads). Keep all bots, files, and logins. ### Operating System Windows 10/11 ### Version Information Windows and iOS: Grok Bot 0.79.2 Timezone: Asia/Hong\_Kong ### Additional Information - Timezone: Asia/Hong\_Kong (UTC+8) - Observed: 2026-11-06 ~11:40–13:00 HKT - box-doctor: all checks PASS - Related public threads: [forum.cursor.com](https://forum.cursor.com/t/177180) , [forum.cursor.com](https://forum.cursor.com/t/175786) - Please do **not** ask me to Reset. ### Does this stop you from using Cursor Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor ---
