:lady_beetle: Provide a clear description of the bug

Downloading the required packages to remote ssh or access WSL in Cursor are:

  1. slow and potentially do not terminate (at least on my device). After waiting for 10 minutes WSL the Installing prompt was still there
  2. does not obvious logs that I can find to track progress/issues
  3. The UI for installation disappears if any keyboard action or click is done

:counterclockwise_arrows_button: Explain how to reproduce the bug (if known)

  1. Do a fresh install of cursor using these instructions: How to fresh install cursor - Windows 11 - #3 by kyle-mcmearty
