For AI issues: which model did you use?

I have Ask/gpt-5-codex selected and running in background, but not sure it’s related.

For AI issues: add Request ID with privacy disabled

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. I can reproduce the issue. Here’s what’s happening:

When you first open the Memories settings page, Cursor checks your Privacy Mode status and fetches your Memories from cloud storage. This async operation causes a delay in the UI rendering, so the toggle may look like it’s not working - even though it’s actually enabling/disabling the feature.

Workaround: navigate to another settings page, then return to Memories. The toggle should show the correct green state.

The functionality is working correctly, it’s just a visual timing issue. I’ll pass this to the team - thanks for pointing it out.
