Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Can you share a screenshot of Settings → Tools & MCP section where Browser is mentioned?

I’m getting this same error

In my case it is Unable to load preload script: c:\Program Files\cursor\resources\app\out\vs\platform\browserView\electron-main\preload-browser.js

I go to that directory in the explorer but it doesnt even appear to exist
