Terminal is not opening in the cursor

This is an ongoing issue, Cursor is stuck in a loading state. I think github sync isn’t working. Cursor is unusable since the latest update.

Same issue here - occasionally it loads but often it just hangs (seems like it’s more than just the terminal). I have to keep restarting until I get a working environment.

Like others I’m also using VSCode and that works fine for the terminal.

I’ve found a workaround so thought I’d share in case it helps others:

  • It seems like if the terminal is hanging, closing all tabs, quitting and reopening gets it working again.

Not sure if this is also a helpful clue for where the issue might be coming from?

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Cursor (Mac) but that didn’t change the behaviour. Just closing all editor tabs for some reason.

i have the same issue since a long time, but it got worse with cursor 3

Closing all tabs and restarting cursor will fix this, just like David mentioned above.
It seems that opening the active files (tabs) causes this. I also get a loading bar, looping at the top

I was having the same issue - Terminal unresponsive - Claude Code addon unresponsive - Agents unresponsive - addon tool unresponsive. Deleting my terminal sessions and restarting Cursor fixed it.
