[SOLVED] C/C++ Extension

Btw we’ve rolled out an immediate fix and will have a longer term solution out very soon.

TLDR: MSFT has a handful of extensions which are closed-source. (Remote access, Pylance, C/C++, C#). The latest releases of the specific extensions no longer work in Cursor or other non-MSFT editors.

Moving forward, Cursor is transitioning away from these extensions. We are investing in open-source alternatives which already exist in the community and will bundle these into the next version to enable a seamless transition.

Please let us know if you have thoughts or questions! Here to help in anyway we can.

Maybe you can use one of these:
