Windows 10: Cursor constantly blinking / circle next to cursor constantly blinking

Hi

In past weeks, perhaps after an update, there's a blue circle which is nearly constantly blinking except when the cursor is placed over a link. This incredibly distracting activity I think is meant to show the processor is working. I can't find where or how to stop it. Running Windows 10 on a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon 6 gen. Installed Malwarebytes and ran a scan to find no issues. Doing my head in. Currently installing a few Lenovo and a Windows update which hopefully will remove it. Not optimistic. Any solutions?

Fast blinking cursor

Hi,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

Sorry to know that the cursor blinking constantly on Windows 10. I will certainly help you.

This issue might occur if the Cursor blink rate is set to Fast.

I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it sets the Cursor blink rate to normal. Here's how:

1. Open Control Panel by right click on
Start Button.

2. Change the view by option on the top right to
Large icons.

3. Click on Keyboard, Keyboard Properties window opens, set the
Cursor blink rate as you wish.

4. Click on Apply and OK, check if the issue is resolved.

Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.

Thank you.

 

Blinking busy cursor in Windows 10

My cursor stays constantly busy and the circle keeps blinking which in turn makes it difficult to enter info and websites into browser fields. Keeps on erasing what I type cause it's constantly busy or backspacing. Please help me with solutions.
