Hello all,

I am using cursor in Windwos 10.
cursor kept reinstaling new version everytime.
It is kind of annoying.
Is there any way to stop reinstalling cursor?

Hey, we are working on fixing this, but for now, try to disable any firewall or anti-virus software you have, and test if it still has the same issues.

Thanks for reply.
Okay. Do you know when it would be released?

Should be within a few weeks, although it may be sooner!

Other users have reported this issue goes away if they disable their anti-virus, have you tried this yet?

I can not disable anti-virus software because of company policy. Well…its been a while. So, has it been fixed?

I am using cursor on Windows and my actual version is the pre-full-of-bugs version.

VSCode Version: 1.96.2

Chromium: 128.0.6613.186
Node.js: 20.18.1

OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.26100

Under my Users directory there will be a folder that is named

C:\Users\<<USER>>\AppData\Local\cursor-updater

Inside it you will find:

image750×326 10.3 KB

Inside this update-info.json it will be something like

image
image1140×181 12.4 KB

as you can see I ask for admin rights and this way it stops the cursor from updating.
I have two accounts on my machine One day to day and one Admin. Since I use cursor with non admin it will never update unless I want to…

If you are admin I would think changing the folder permissions might stop it as well.
