Windows loading - nothing works

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

When I launch a project, sometimes “it’s loading” and nothing works. I can type a message, i get the “planning next moves” but it does nothing. Sometimes, I get the “reload the window” message and everything works fine after. I get this problem maybe 3-4 times per day. Since the update, I can’t do anything, the problem is here, I can’t use the IDE

Steps to Reproduce

Open a project on my mac.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Hey, yeah, this is a known bug: ERROR_EXTENSION_HOST_TIMEOUT. The extension host doesn’t finish initializing in time, and the agent gets stuck on “planning next moves”. We’re actively tracking it, on macOS especially after 3.2.11. I can’t share an ETA for a fix yet.

What you can try for now:

  1. Reset Cursor cache: quit Cursor, then rename or delete ~/.cursor (you can back it up first). After that, sign in again. Some users say it helps temporarily.
  2. Downgrade to the previous stable version via Cursor > Check for Updates… or download an older version manually if this is fully blocking your work.
  3. If it still doesn’t help, open Help > Toggle Developer Tools > Console and paste the first errors you see when the window starts loading.

Let me know if resetting ~/.cursor helped.

resetting .cursor didn’t help.

I didn’t downgrade the version, right now.

Here are the errors I get on the developer console :

workbench.desktop.main.js:8818 This document requires ‘TrustedScript’ assignment. The action has been blocked.
workbench.desktop.main.js:29231 This document requires ‘TrustedScript’ assignment. The action has been blocked.

I deleted cursor, and add it again => doesn’t work

Try a logout and reconnect, it works
