Hey there! Could you check Help \> About? If you’re on 3.28, this is an issue we’re tracking on Windows, and installing 3.27 from [cursor.com/download](https://cursor.com/download) should get the Library loading again (your files are safe). We’ll post updates in [this thread](https://forum.cursor.com/t/unexpected-error-after-every-prompt/176536).

If you’re on another version, let me know which one and I’ll dig in.
