The agent becomes unusable after restarting Cursor and requires reinstallation to fix

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Please update to the latest version of Cursor at to continue using the Agent

When I launch Cursor by checking the “Run Cursor” box immediately after reinstallation, the agent works correctly. However, if I close the application (e.g., by closing the window) and then reopen it, an error occurs, and the agent becomes unusable. The only way to get the agent working again is to reinstall Cursor.

but Windsurf is works fine

Note:
This issue might be related to a specific type of network environment in Japan.

Japanese(日本語原文)

再インストールで"Cursorを実行する"をチェックして起動した場合はagentが扱えるが、一度ウィンドウを閉じるなどした後に再度開いた場合はエラーが出て、再度インストールしないとagentが扱えない。

備考:
日本の特殊な回線が影響してるかもしれない。(NURO光、MAP-E)
Windsurfでは問題なく使用可能

Steps to Reproduce

1.install Cursor
2.check “Cursorを起動する”(Run Cursor check box)
3.use agent → Agent available
4.close Cursor
5.open Cursor → Agent unavailable

6.back to 1

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

hi @coffin299 and thank you for the detailed bug report.

If the issue occurs again could you please try following:

  • Check if logging out and logging in again helps
  • Remove the config directory: See Troubleshooting step Clearing app data but make sure to backup the folders first before removing them.
