Cursor Not working with WSL after updating it

[Alavi1412]

I have updated cursor on 19 April and now, it can not connect to WSL anymore. I am getting this Popup and every time I click on Install and Reload, it reopens the Cursor and shows the same error.

The version I am using:

It seems the WSL version is problematic here. I fixed it by removing the WSL and then, manually installing the ms-vscode-remote.remote-wsl-0.88.3.vsix file. Make sure to remove the extension folder from these places before installing the new version:

C:\Users\USERNAME\.cursor\extensions C:\Users\USERNAME\.vscode\extensions

This is how you can install the extension.

Link to download the vsix file for the extension.
