I have never personally experienced any windows client with more issues. Either you are in profiteering mode and simply don’t care, or your team is substandard. Which is it?
Steps to Reproduce
Use cursor IDE, discover a severely flawed product that shouldn’t be monetized and should be disallowed by the FTC. Better described as a fraud scheme
Expected Behavior
Ability to update either through the interface or by downloading the updated (new) installer
Operating System
Windows 10/11
Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)
Hey, I’m not a Windows user, so I’m not sure how updates work there. On macOS, downloading the latest installer overwrites the existing app and the new version takes effect. Could you try the same on Windows and let me know what happens?
Hey, thanks for the report. Being stuck on version 1.5.11 since September is definitely a problem. The current version is 2.0.
Please help us troubleshoot:
Download the latest installer from Download · Cursor and try running it. What exact error message do you get?
Check your antivirus/Windows Defender: it might be blocking the installer. Try adding Cursor to exclusions or temporarily disabling it during installation.
Run the installer as Administrator: right-click the downloaded file and select “Run as administrator.”
Let us know what happens at each step and any error messages you see. That will help us identify the exact issue.
