Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, what is the default shell in your system? Try selecting a different one if it differs from yours here:

Additionally, try updating Cursor, you can download the latest version here:

My default sheel is git bash
But other shell like command prompt and powershell are not working too
And I’ve also installed latest version 0.44.11

Did this work for you before in Cursor? If it still doesn’t work, try clearing the cache or reinstalling Cursor.
