after install the 0.45.11 from www.cursor.com , it will pop update notify.
it will update to 0.45.15
open cursor ,will have notice below
I think this is because vscode have different version for normal user and admin user, but cursor only use the “user installer”.
my host only have one administrator, now I can update manually next, but I think automatic updates are necessary.

Same issue here.
Edit: Disabling UAC seemed to do the trick. Was able to update after that.
It has nothing to do with UAC, I directly use administrator and close UAC

I meant enabling it, try setting UAC to Always notify. Restart your computer, and try to update.

This also helped me when installing/reinstalling since there is a warning message about User installation …
enabling UAC solved it !
maybe can solve this, but I don’t want to enable UAC, it is an meaningless security mechanism on Windows that is easy to bypass.

Hi, I just got the same issue. Can’t install it properly, UAC or not (i tried both), it’s only user installer, and the updates won’t show up, I will have to find new releases manually. Can’t find the expected “Admin installer” it ask me to download from cursor website.
I am installing Cursor on AWS EC2 instances. The instances are initialized with an Administrator user with full admin rights. It is a burden to try to set up a separate user each time just to allow Cursor to stay current with updates.
Does anyone have a solution that will allow Cursor updates without changing the Administrator rights or adding a new user?

It looks like you can change 2 things
1. Replace "user-setup" with "system-setup"
2. Replace "/CursorUserSetup" with "/CursorSetup"

Since there is a system version of cursor, why not provide a download link on the official website?
