Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue with the extension host, and the team is aware and tracking it.

First, try a few things:

  1. Start Cursor without extensions from the terminal:

    cursor --disable-extensions

    If it works, one of your extensions is causing a conflict.

  2. Check Process Explorer (Cmd + Shift + P > “Developer: Open Process Explorer”) and see if there’s a stuck extensionHost.

  3. Clear the cache and restart:

    • Fully quit Cursor
    • Delete ~/Library/Application Support/Cursor/CachedExtensionVSIXs
    • Launch it again

If nothing helps, a temporary workaround is to downgrade to the previous version. At Download · Cursor, there’s a “Previous versions” section at the bottom.

Also, can you share your list of installed extensions, and whether you have any MCP servers in your config?
