IDE freezes when window not active

Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue on Windows. It’s related to system notifications that Cursor sends when the agent finishes a task and the app window isn’t in focus.

Try this workaround: go to Settings > General > Notifications and turn off System Notifications. This helped other users with the same issue:

If disabling notifications doesn’t help, also try:

  1. Run Cursor without extensions: cursor --disable-extensions
  2. Restart your system. In one similar case, a full Windows restart fixed it

Let me know if it helped.
