Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, it looks like your menu bar is set to hidden. To bring it back:

  • Press Ctrl + Shift + P to open the Command Palette
  • Type Toggle Menu Bar and select it. This should bring back File, Edit, etc.

You can also press Alt. If the menu shows up briefly, it means the setting is in toggle mode. To make it permanent, go to Settings Ctrl + ,, search for window.menuBarVisibility, and set it to classic.

Let me know if that works.
