I tried ‘cmd+shift+p’ and ‘attempt update’ but it doesn’t work.

The only time this “hasn’t worked” for me is when there isn’t an update available…

If you’re really feeling stuck, can always delete the App and re-download from their [homepage](https://cursor.sh)

You can check in “Help” =\> “About” what version you are on. If you’re already on the latest version “Attempt Update” won’t do anything.

If you’re stuck on a version you can redownload Cursor from the website. You don’t need to uninstall the previous version first.

I’m on 0.13.4, on Mac. Changelog says 0.14 is available, but Attempt Update does nothing. Guess I’ll redownload. 😶
