Why Is Cursor So Slow On Windows?

Discussions

For work, I occasionally need to use a Windows machine and I’ve noticed that startup for Cursor is shockingly slow on Windows compared to my main machine. It can take up to thirty seconds some times for the IDE to be interactable. The machine itself it’s being run on is fairly capable so I am confident it’s not that and VS Code isn’t having the same issue.

Why is this happening?

Hey, thanks for the report. Could you try opening another project or a blank Cursor window and running the agent to see if the issue persists? Also, please let me know your OS and Cursor version.
