Hey, thanks for the report.

I can see a screenshot showing Cursor with a black screen. Let’s try a few steps:

  1. Start Cursor in Safe Mode from the command line:

    cursor --disable-extensions

    Try opening the project. Does the UI load?

  2. If that didn’t help, reset Cursor AppData:

    • Fully close Cursor
    • In File Explorer, rename:
      • %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Cursor to Cursor.old
      • %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Cursor to Cursor.old
    • Launch Cursor again. New folders will be created

  3. Please share logs from the DevTools Console:

    • If you see the black screen, open DevTools before opening the project (Help > Toggle Developer Tools)
    • Try “Open Chat as Editor”
    • Copy all errors from the Console tab

Let me know if these steps help.
