please add a feature to disable preventive cursor updates. Every week I have to get confused about another new UI change or suffer from dev’s team “experimentation”. I get used to most of the updates, and I even like it from a distance, but when I have to relearn every day to change the chat button …

Hey, thanks for the feedback. Cursor already lets you control updates via the Update: Mode setting. Open Application settings CMD/CTRL + ,, search for “Update”, and change the mode from “default” to: “none” to fully disable auto-updates “manual” to show a notification, but not update automaticall…

You know you can turn off the updates if you dont want to download them.

It will only force an update if you’re using a deprecated version of the software that is no longer supported, hence why the update.

I hate ALL Cursor updates. I want Cursor as it was 1 year ago.

Cursor as it was a year ago is Windsurf. I switched a week ago — it’s a bit simpler, and it’s exactly the Cursor I loved.

I have a paid annual pro subscription. As soon as it expires I am considering exploring alternatives, and hopefully, I will switch too.

fix this garbage force update or you lose $1000+/mo from me and my dev team this is absolute nonsense - it is way too frequent now.

Yeah but Cursor will still force you to update for major versions. See: Wait... Cursor 1.7 Now No Longer Works At All?
