⚠️ General Solutions for Cursor

Close Cursor, log out of your account, and delete your account in the official website Settings (refresh IP node: Japan, Singapore, USA, Hong Kong, prioritizing low latency - not necessarily required but change if conditions allow; Windows users are recommended to refresh DNS cache: ipconfig /flushdns) Go to the Cursor official website to delete your current account Steps: User avatar -> Setting -> Advanced▼ in the bottom left -> Delete Account

Run the machine code refresh script, see the script address below, available in China

Re-register an account, log in, and open Cursor to resume normal use.

Alternative solution: If still unusable after step [3], or if you encounter problems such as account registration failure or inability to delete an account, this usually means your browser has been identified or restricted by the target website (risk control). In this case, try switching browsers, such as: Edge, Google Chrome, Firefox. (Or, consider using a browser that can modify or randomize browser fingerprint information).

⚠️ MAC Address Modification Warning

For Mac users: This script includes a MAC address modification feature that will:

Modify your network interface's MAC address

Backup original MAC addresses before modification

This modification may temporarily affect network connectivity

You can skip this step when prompted during execution

🔒 Disable Auto-Update Feature

To prevent Cursor from automatically updating to unsupported new versions, you can choose to disable the auto-update feature.

Method 1: Using Built-in Script (Recommended)

When running the reset tool, the script will ask if you want to disable auto-updates:


[Question] Do you want to disable Cursor auto-update feature?
0) No - Keep default settings (Press Enter)
1) Yes - Disable auto-update

Select 1 to automatically complete the disable operation.

Method 2: Manual Disable

Windows:

Close all Cursor processes
Delete directory: %LOCALAPPDATA%\cursor-updater
Create a file with the same name (without extension) in the same location

macOS:


# NOTE: As tested, this method only works for version 0.45.11 and below.
# Close Cursor
pkill -f "Cursor"
# Replacing app-update.yml with a blank/read-only file
cd /Applications/Cursor.app/Contents/Resources
mv app-update.yml app-update.yml.bak
touch app-update.yml
chmod 444 app-update.yml

# Go to Settings -> Application -> Update, set Mode to none.
# This must be done to prevent Cursor from checking for updates.

# NOTE: The cursor-updater modification method may no longer be effective
# In any case, remove update directory and create blocking file
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Caches/cursor-updater
touch ~/Library/Application\ Support/Caches/cursor-updater

Linux:


# Close Cursor
pkill -f "Cursor"
# Remove update directory and create blocking file
rm -rf ~/.config/cursor-updater
touch ~/.config/cursor-updater

⚠️ Note: After disabling auto-updates, you'll need to manually download and install new versions. It's recommended to update only after confirming the new version is compatible.

Ensure network stability
Clear browser cache and retry

Solution 4: Claude 3.7 Access Issue (High Load)

If you see the "High Load" message for Claude 3.7 Sonnet, this indicates Cursor is limiting free trial accounts from using the 3.7 model during certain times of the day. Try:

Switch to a new account created with Gmail, possibly connecting through a different IP address
Try accessing during off-peak hours (typically 5-10 AM or 3-7 PM when restrictions are often lighter)
Consider upgrading to Pro for guaranteed access
Use Claude 3.5 Sonnet as a fallback option
