Hey, thanks for the report. Let’s quickly check the basics.

Please try:

  • Show Explorer: View → Appearance → Primary Side Bar, then Ctrl+Shift+E
  • Toggle sidebar: Ctrl+B
  • Open a different folder from local disk
  • Run without extensions: close Cursor, then in terminal cursor --disable-extensions
  • Reload window: Command Palette → Developer: Reload Window

And please share:

  • Screenshot of Cursor window with visible Explorer and window title
  • Does it reproduce on all folders or just one (specify path, e.g. C:\..., network drive, OneDrive, WSL)
  • Logs and errors:
    • Help → Toggle Developer Tools → Console, screenshot or copy of errors

If that doesn’t help, you can create a clean profile following: Troubleshooting Guide | Cursor Docs and reinstall from Download · Cursor. Let me know what helped.
