Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Hey there, @keewinek

In your Cursor, how is Agents > Auto-run > Auto-Run Mode configured? If it’s set to “Ask every time”, that’s likely the cause.

If it’s not set that way – could you share a screenshot of the Agent asking you to accept changes on each file edit? A Request ID would be helpful as well.

Hope we can get this sorted!

Did you know that you could have asked in a nicer way?

[jokerfool (Jason)]

Changing that option does nothing by the way, several chats later even though off, you will get the same issue again.

[keewinek]

Yep, thats why i reported it as a bug.

[keewinek]

@colin_ii just look at this screenshot. I have Auto-Run mode, but still i need to accept AI’s changes.

same behaviour for me:

(cursor inside WSL environment)

[Colin]

Thanks all.

A Request ID would really help with the investigation, if you have a chat where you face this!

@Colin

A Request ID would be helpful as well.

Same for me, also on WSL2. This started sometime in the past week for me. Unfortunately the agent experience becomes quite unusable.

I have same problem, the setting Auto-run in Agent Mode not working.

[Michael_Treadgold]

I have the same issue.

This only started today when I used cursor for the first time in a few days. I’m also on windows, developing a project in WSL2. Definitely have “run everything” selected in the agent setup.

Asks for “accept” every file edit.

I have the same problem, and I’m also working in WSL2.

[Alazar_Getachew]

I’m encountering the same issue on Windows — every file edit in the chat prompts me to accept the changes. Even after that, I still need to accept or decline the changes to the files once the chat is finished.

[Jonathan_Slater]

It’s a bug. In another ticket the solution was basically to rollback the update? I’ve just been clicking accept, but I agree it’s a nuisance at the very least. Hopefully they have this resolved soon.

[keewinek]

When will you fix this bug?

[BRsjtu (Bao Rui)]

i have this problem when using GPT-5.1 High. But work well with GPT-5.1 Codex High

[Colin]

Hey team,

My understanding is that this should be fixed now. Can you test it?
