Thanks for reporting! After changing your Update Access setting to “Default”, you need to manually trigger a channel switch:

  1. Wait a moment after changing the setting
  2. Go to Cursor menu (top left) > Check for Updates
  3. Install the update and restart

This should move you to the latest stable/default version.
