Hook on Windows STOPPED WORKING back around 2.1.25 - PLEASE FIX

Hey, thanks for the report. We’re seeing a few similar posts about hooks on Windows in 2.1.x: Hooks are not working anymore, Hooks still not working properly in 2.1.6. We need details to lock down the bug and pass it to engineering.

Please send:

  • The contents of your hooks.json and where it’s located: C:\ProgramData\Cursor\hooks.json, ~/.cursor/hooks.json, or <project>/.cursor/hooks.json
  • Which events you use and the exact commands you run (include full paths, try an absolute path for testing)
  • Script type on Windows (.ps1/.bat/bash via WSL) and whether it runs when executed directly from the built-in terminal in the same cwd
  • Logs: View > Output > select “Hooks”, and Help > Toggle Developer Tools > Console
  • A minimal reproducible example following the docs: Hooks | Cursor Docs

Quick checks:

  • Restart Cursor
  • Make sure relative paths are relative to the hooks.json file
  • Try absolute paths in the command

Once I have this info, I can forward the case to the team right away.
