🚀 Cursor Free Trial Reset Tool

v0.44.11 (Recommended Stable Version)

• Windows: Official | Mirror
• Mac: Apple Silicon

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

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.

Windows:

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

macOS:

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