Describe the Bug
This error:
The terminal process failed to launch: A native exception occurred during launch (posix_spawnp failed.).
…pops up and there’s nothing I can do now. I’ve restarted Cursor. I’ve followed the “open help” button that takes me to VSC and recommends a settings review. But, I’m totally lost.
The error first ocurred when I tried to check a commit with a “git checkout” command and now persists no matter what is done.
Steps to Reproduce
Everything I do in terminal now reproduces the error.

Additional Information
I cannot find the settings that VSC recommends to check. From reading that page, Troubleshoot Visual Studio Code Integrated Terminal launch failures I’m not sure if this is even the solution.
Does this stop you from using Cursor
Yes - Cursor is unusable
