Cursor Trial Reset Tool (PowerShell Version)
A Windows-focused PowerShell utility that manages
Cursor editor's device identification system by resetting stored device IDs.
## How It Works
The script generates random device IDs, letting Cursor recognize your system as new. It backs up your original config file before any changes.
## Key Features
- š Automatic backup of original configuration
- š¦ Works out of the box - requires only Windows PowerShell (pre-installed on all Windows systems)
> [!IMPORTANT]
> You must log out and completely close Cursor before running the script.
> If Cursor is running in the background, it may revert to the previous device ID, undoing the reset.
## Usage
Open Windows Powershell and paste this one-line script into the terminal.
```powershell
$sf="$env:APPDATA\Cursor\User\globalStorage\storage.json";if(Test-Path $sf){Copy-Item $sf "$sf.backup_$(Get-Date -Format 'yyyyMMdd_HHmmss')";$c=Get-Content -Raw $sf}else{$d=@{};New-Item -ItemType Directory (Split-Path $sf) -Force};function Get-RandHex{$b=New-Object byte[] 32;(New-Object Security.Cryptography.RNGCryptoServiceProvider).GetBytes($b);-join($b|%{'{0:x2}' -f $_})};$c=$c -replace '(?<="telemetry.machineId":\s*")[^"]*(?=")', (Get-RandHex) -replace '(?<="telemetry.macMachineId":\s*")[^"]*(?=")', (Get-RandHex) -replace '(?<="telemetry.devDeviceId":\s*")[^"]*(?=")', (New-Guid).Guid;Set-Content -Path $sf -Value $c -NoNewline;$d=[System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex]::Matches($c,'"telemetry\.(machineId|macMachineId|devDeviceId)":\s*"([^"]*)"')|ForEach-Object{$_.Groups[2].Value}|Select-Object -First 3;Write-Host "`nā
Cursor Trial Successfully Reset - New Device IDs Generated:`n";@{machineId=$d[0];macMachineId=$d[1];devDeviceId=$d[2]}|ConvertTo-Json
```
Or run the [script](script.ps1): `powershell -File .\script.ps1` (in terminal or powershell)
If you are unsure about the safety of the script,
you can generate the IDs on https://max1mde.github.io/cursor-reset-powershell/ and replace the IDs manually.
### Configuration Location
The Windows configuration file is located at:
```
%APPDATA%\Cursor\User\globalStorage\storage.json
```
(Typically resolves to `C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\Roaming\Cursor\User\globalStorage\storage.json`)
Backups are created in the same directory with timestamps: `storage.json.backup_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS`
