Describe the Bug
Hello,
I am using a cursor pro account with my primary operating system as windows.
I have a WSL2 Ubuntu 20.04 VM running on my windows where I usually do my linux related development work. I notice that after some continuous usage of around 1-2 months cursor’s IDE fails to launch from the WSL terminal. I am able to launch the IDE in windows and that seems to be working correctly.
After this I have to re-install the IDE after removing it manually.
Once re-installed, intellisense stops working. Autocomplete, chat and other features work fine but basic IDE features like file indexing and navigating to variable and function definitions do not work at all. I see that the IDE keeps on updating itself automatically after approximately 2-3 weeks of usage so it seems that the latest update is creating issues for me.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the IDE and all its extensions from my Windows and WSL machines but still the intellisense doesn’t work.
Steps to Reproduce
I did not do anything specific for this bug to occur. I am just launching the IDE from my WSL terminal and after some time it simply doesn’t launch. After re-installing the intellisense is not working.
