After running cursor for about 5 mins I can see a Git process in the activity monitor and within few seconds the memory shoots up to more than 20GB and freezes my laptop
On clicking on the Git process I can see this
Had to switch to vscode because of this issue
I don’t even have many vscode extensions
OS version:
MacOS: 15.4.1 (Sequoia)
M1 Pro
Cursor version:
Hey, do you have any Git extensions installed?
Nope, don’t have any extensions
The “extension-host” indicates that the issue is related to the extensions. To check this, try starting in safe mode: cursor --disable-extensions. If everything is fine, open Process Explorer to try to identify the problematic extension.
will try this
tried disabling extension, still crashed, but got this
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/git show --pretty=format:%s<|ENT|><|RY|>%b<|ENT|><|RY|>%an<|E...
Found some similar issues posted as well
I think @danperks can handle this.
@danperks please help
Hey, does this happen still if you run Cursor with extensions disabled?
To do this, go into a terminal and run cursor --disable-extensions.
I’d be surprised if this was Cursor doing this out the box, I’d think this was either a bad Git installation or a bad extension that’s causing this as my first guess.
yes it still happens, you can see my extensions here
