“Open Chat as Editor” causes permanent black screen when reopening project

Yes. This happened with me too.

Checkout this thread [Recommended]: Open chat as editor bug - #3 by deanrie

Solution that worked for me:

  • Uninstall the cursor
  • Take a backup of C:/Users//.cursor directory (If you have plans, rules, commands, etc. that you don’t want to lose)
  • Remove all data
    rd /s /q “%AppData%\Cursor”
    rd /s /q “%LocalAppData%\Cursor”
    rd /s /q “%UserProfile%.cursor”
    del /f /q “%UserProfile%.cursor*”
  • Fresh reinstall cursor

And avoid using “Open chat as editor”. It’s buggy and is causing issues. You can try dragging the chat tab to editor window as a workaround.

You can also try this if that doesn’t works.
