Why are your pushing out / force installing updates every day

Describe the Bug

I am getting really tired of cursor force downloading and pushing out new updates every single day. 1.3.4 to 1.3.5 to now 1.3.8.
I do not mind the updates, but you decide to just stop the application and force it to restart while I am in the middle of working. That is unacceptable - I, as the user, must be able to decide when to install, update, or restart your software

Steps to Reproduce

just work for 24-48 hours

Operating System

Windows 10/11

Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)

Version: 1.3.8 (user setup)
VSCode Version: 1.99.3

Electron: 34.5.1
Chromium: 132.0.6834.210
Node.js: 20.19.0
V8: 13.2.152.41-electron.0
OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.26100

Yeah, the recent release cadence is very high!

1.3.9 has even been released since your post…

The changelog contains patch notes now:

I don’t think we’re forced to update though? I just dismiss the update button until I’m ready to update.

hi @Jorgen_Christiansen this could be an Windows installer issue, we will investigate.

I think they are fixing multiple bugs and pushing it asap. And more are minor fixes are then pushed to address new found ones. My suggestion is to disable auto updating in your Cursor settings itself. In cursor, click “CTRL + ,”. It will open the settings. Search for “Update” and select manual. Restart Cursor, and this time it will not download update unless you clicked that update button “Check for updates”.

Sure you can disable auto-updates though you would not receive updates for bugfixes and new features.

Yeah, I just update from time to time when there is announcement here of a new release and seeing majority of beta users’ issues being solved. Just like last time, Cursor’s update is broken, the beta update was pushed to the non-beta users. I was saved from that because of my setup, while others work are ruined because of that update and the new bugs it brings. So yeah.
