Windows 10: Cursor blink rate of none breaks task bar notifications

In Keyboard Properties, set the Cursor blink rate to None. In order for the setting to take affect, you must restart your computer or restart Windows Explorer in the Task Manager when you have a folder open. Now make an application issue a notification such as new chat message which causes the icon to become orange. The icon should flash orange and when you open the program, stop being orange. With the Cursor blink rate of None, the icons are a solid orange and not flashing which in itself isn't an issue, but when you open the program, it the icon stays orange forever. This is very annoying and prevents me from seeing new notifications.

Cursor stops blinking

Hello,

By the way it seems that there is a rate of blink about applications, you can check some of them over here :

Notepad Cursor stops blinking after 5-6 blinks.
Windows Explorer Cursor stops blinking after 5-6 blinks.
Total Commander Cursor stops blinking after 5-6 blinks.
Microsoft Office 2016 Cursor stops blinking after 30-32 blinks.
Microsoft Edge, inside Google search box Cursor stops blinking after 10-11 blinks.
Microsoft Edge, inside URL bar Cursor stops blinking after 5-6 blinks.
Firefox (in URL bar, also inside web pages) The cursor did not stop after 50 blinks. Seems to work OK.

Just tried on my new computer (Windows 10) and it's the same of Worpad, maybe it's just normal *Smile
