.cursorignore,files.excludein User Settings and Remote User Settings, andfiles.watcherExcludefor both, following: https://docs.cursor.com/context/ignore-files#default-ignore-list - I try reset
.cursor-serverdeleting and downloading again but don´t work - I try reboot the machine

Have a some alternative to fix this problem?
alternative way to fix is downgrade to older version before update 0.48.9 but it don´t solve problem from next versions: https://gist.github.com/HallexCosta/5612b0ee81e88028f09802fcebcde7de
Same problem,
Any chance you're using this old settings sync extension? I was experiencing the same until I disabled that. Otherwise suggest trying extension bisect to see if it is caused by a different extension.
Same problem,

I seem to have the same problem, at least temporarily. It appeared with a very recent update. I presume it may disappear with a reboot, but I haven't tried yet.
