Loading chat forever

Support Bug Reports

Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue after updating to 2.3.34. Old chats don’t load because of a DB migration problem. Your data is usually not lost, it just can’t be read.

Try this workaround:

  1. Fully close Cursor (check Task Manager to make sure the process is stopped)
  2. Open %APPDATA%\Cursor\User\globalStorage
  3. Find a file like state.vscdb.corrupted.1767...
  4. Rename the current state.vscdb to state.vscdb.old
  5. Rename the .corrupted file to state.vscdb
  6. Start Cursor

If that doesn’t help, open DevTools (Help → Toggle Developer Tools) and send a screenshot of the console errors when you try to open a chat. This will help confirm if it matches other reports from today.
