Describe the Bug
Open Cursor. After a few seconds the green “Update Now” button shows up in the bottom left corner. Clicking on it closes Cursor and nothing happens. Open Cursor again and get the same “Update Now” button.
A few days ago I manually reinstalled to get v1.0.0 and still have the same problem.
Others posted on the github repo issues here [Linux AppImage] "Update Now" Button Does Not Work (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS : jammy jellyfish) · Issue #3012 · getcursor/cursor · GitHub
This also happens when using the help menu “restart to update”.
Steps to Reproduce
Open Cursor.
Click “Update Now”
Expected Behavior
Cursor should update and restart.

No - Cursor works, but with this issue
