Update Without Restarting Cursor

Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

Describe the request

Hello Cursor team,

I’d like to suggest an important improvement: the ability to install updates without having to restart Cursor.

Currently, updates are released quite frequently, and I often work with 4 or 5 instances open. Whenever an update comes out, I have to close everything, including terminals, and restart all tabs (sometimes 6 or more).

While it’s great to always stay up to date, this recurring need to restart multiple windows significantly disrupts the workflow. It would be extremely helpful if at least some updates — especially those that don’t require a critical restart — could be applied seamlessly without interrupting usage.

Thank you for your attention!

Operating System (if it applies)

Windows 10/11
