Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Hey there!

This is a known issue with the Windows auto-updater. When the system restarts during the update process, the update notification triggers the uninstall/delete phase on shutdown, but the system powers off before the install phase completes, leaving Cursor fully removed with no rollback mechanism.

This is an issue inherited from VSCode, and will be tough to fix. It’s on our roadmap, however,.
