If Windsurf isn’t working for you
Windsurf is Cognition's AI code editor, distributed as Devin Desktop, with an agent that edits and runs code across your project.
Common Windsurf errors
| Error | What it means | Usually | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|
'Devin Desktop' is damaged and cannot be opened. | A macOS security false positive, usually triggered when the app is downloaded. | Your side | Allow it under System Settings > Privacy & Security, or move it to /Applications and redownload the right build for your chip. Source |
Updates are disabled because you are running the user-scope installation of Devin Desktop as Administrator. | On Windows, the app cannot auto-update while running as Administrator. | Your side | Run it again with user scope so it can update. Source |
Devin Desktop failed to start | The editor did not launch, often because of corrupted local Cascade data. | Your side | Delete the ~/.codeium/windsurf/cascade folder (on Windows, under your user's .codeium folder) and restart; this removes local conversation history. Source |
Is it just you?
- Rate-limit errors happen when the premium models it uses run out of capacity; wait a few moments, as the docs advise, or pick another model.
- Allowlist the domains listed in the docs if you are behind a firewall, VPN or proxy.
- Sign out on the website, restart the editor and sign back in if your plan or features look wrong.
- Check the vendor status page and the reports on this page.
Alternatives to Windsurf
Questions
The docs say Windsurf is itself subject to rate limits from the premium model providers and sometimes hits their capacity. Wait a few moments and try again, or switch models.
Yes. Cognition's documentation for the Windsurf editor uses the name Devin Desktop, and existing Windsurf help links lead to it.
