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
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.
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.
I also encountered this problem
I am a subscriber of both cursor and trae.ai simultaneously
At first, I found on trae that macos would not respond after running and then the computer would restart automatically
The solution I attempted was to completely delete both cursor and trae (including the relevant content under ~).
Then I reinstalled cursor (without trae) and opened my golang project, only to find that the system crashed and restarted automatically
I observed abnormal CPU loads in go and gopls, with the highest reaching 500%
The following is the content in cursor’s “about”
Is there anyone who can help me
I followed the following steps and did not reappear the problem [at the moment]
Remove all relevant content and reinstall
No plugins are installed. Currently, being in a plugin-free environment doesn’t affect my work
In my case, I particularly suspect the vs code go plugin is the cause @ashley@danperks
