Suddenly cursor starts but is irresponsive

General
1

Everything worked fine and without changing the project i’m working on or changing settings i cant work with cursor anymore. I start the app and it opens, populates the diffferent frames and then it gets irresponsive and after a time Ii get “Window not responding”. Waiting does not help, restarting does not help. I managed to close all editor windows, deleted .aiconfig and reinstalled cursor. When opening another project everything works fine so it seems that cursor wants to load something wrong. CPU and memory are fine while cursor is irresponsive. Anyone any idea ? Your help would be rly appreciated. I love this tool because even without Python knowledge it allows me to do fantastic things :slight_smile:

Added: VSC can open the folder without problems

Hey, try checking the logs, maybe there’s an issue there. Also, try starting in cursor --disable-extensions mode, maybe it’s because of some extension.

and i now use “C:\Users.…\AppData\Local\Programs\cursor\Cursor.exe” --disable-extensions
but same problem - after starting it immediately gets unrespronsive after filling the different frames which is fast. Using another project works without problems.
