Select 1 to automatically complete the disable operation.

Method 2: Manual Disable

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
