Windows 10: Cursor is blinking and system is unresponsive

I NEED HELP!! few months back I downloaded Xampp software for my college purpose on my laptop and this problem started happening. My cursor started blinking and my system became slow. Every click would used to give a slow response and took more than 2-3 seconds. Even for refreshing, the window would appear but there was nothing and when i used to hover on the window, refresh button would appear and when i click it then it would take around 5 seconds to refresh. This problem scared me so i deleted the software and the problem was solved automatically a few days later. Then I installed Turbo C last month and it started happening again. I deleted it the same day then the problem was gone after few days. But recently I downloaded nothing, no software but this problem started again. This time it is causing a lot of trouble. I am unable to use my laptop freely, the CURSOR keeps blinking and the system starts stuttering and becomes laggy as soon as it happens. Even games become unresponsive and get stuck. Any input I give to Windows Explorer it shows 'working on it' and even in chrome but as soon as I click the taskbar the problem is gone and I get the tab or folder open within a second. It is a big problem. I tried to update mouse drivers but it sends me to windows update and there is only one ELON driver which is of 2019 and I did that too . Updated Windows and also updated my amd radeon software but none is working. Sometimes it works fine but the next moment it goes full crazy and the blinking and stuttering starts. This problem is like my laptop having fits and is upto the laptop when it wishes to go it goes and when wants to be crazy it starts doing these things. PLEASE I NEED HELP! I want to use my laptop without these issues.

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.

 

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

 

Cursor stops blinking

I know; right? I mean how much of the resource cache could actually be needed to make the cursor blink. Obviously they felt it was a strain on system resources or something. *Rolleyes

Also, if this was indeed intentional for ADHD cases, then why not have the cursor stop blinking when in a browser as well instead of just for system based applications?

Furthermore, I thought people with ADHD had trouble focusing on just one thing, so how would they know if the cursor actually stopped blinking. People with OCD would spot the problem first *Wink .
