How to enable ability to work with console powershell inside cursor

Support Bug Reports

Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue where non-ASCII characters in paths break the Agent terminal. Here’s what helped:

Quick fix:

  • Ctrl+Shift+P → “Terminal: Kill All Terminals”
  • Fully close Cursor and restart
  • Ctrl+Shift+P → “Terminal: Create New Terminal”

This usually fixes the PowerShell encoding corruption.

Other options:

  • Move the project to a path without special characters
  • Similar issue with Korean characters was solved the same way: Cursor AI Korean Encoding Bug

Let me know if this helps!
