Describe the Bug

Onboarding import nor forced import are working.

I’ve used cursor before on another laptop (work) and it worked fine.

Steps to Reproduce

Fresh install of cursor, macOS 15.5.

I imported using the welcome screen (as mentioned in other posts), it didn’t work. I did it again from the settings page, it still hasn’t worked.

Operating System

MacOS

Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

Hey, maybe there was an error during the first import and that’s why the import isn’t working. Cursor might see the .cursor folder in your home directory. Try deleting it and starting again. You can also copy your .vscode extensions folder and rename it to .cursor.

This worked! Strange, I wouldn’t expect nuking a config folder would be required on a fresh install, but it seemed to! Thanks for your response and for such a quick reply!
