How i can disable auto update?

[ivnmood (Ivan Sidarau)]

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

I cannot disable the auto-update feature. I want to stay on version 1.5 because versions 1.6 and 1.7 are completely unusable—the terminal doesn’t work at all. How can I keep version 1.5? Every time I reopen the IDE, it reinstalls ■■■■ version 1.7.

Steps to Reproduce

try using new crappy versions of the cursor and realize that you want to roll back to the previous ones

Operating System

MacOS

Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)

Version: 1.5.11
VSCode Version: 1.99.3

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Hey, thanks for the report. I’m sorry that the features important to you aren’t working. The team is working on a fix, and yes, you can try disabling auto‑update in the settings. You can also try updating to a new version once it’s more stable.
