Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

hi @wiltonlazary and thank you for the post.

We may need additional information to understand what is happening and to be able to reproduce it:

  • Check System Monitor for how much memory and CPU Cursor processes consume
  • Open Help > Open Process Explorer to see which parts of the IDE consume most memory or CPU
  • Check Command Pallette > Logs and share logs that relate to the crash
  • Does the same occur when you open an empty project?
  • Does it also occur when you start Cursor with a custom config folder (ensures that no extension or setting causes issues)
  • Are you using NVIDIA graphic cards with custom driver?

Check following workaround as well:
