Windows 10: Cursor saying busy for no reason.

hello, I have problem with my cursor, it keeps saying busy whenever I open a new tab in edge and sometimes outside of it too. I checked the pointers and tried to undo the changes I made before this problem started but its not fixing the problem, tried a sfc scan, updates, resetting edge and deleting new extensions plus a bunch of other solutions but none seem to work. Please help!

:)

 

cursor dissappeared

Thank you both for your prompt replies, I tried all steps listed, some I had tries previously but I still tried them again, but still no cursor.

Do you have any other suggestions?

 

Blinking busy cursor in Windows 10

Hello,

I realize that I am responding to LA's issue with a "Blinking busy cursor in Windows 10" that is a very old posting, but, I post this because I think this may be, or will become an issue for some others using Win 10 at any given time.

I am responding to this issue, that I too had, and was trying to resolve since a Microsoft update back 6-8 months ago.

I found a resolution for the "blinking cursor" while trying to fix another completely different Win 10 issue.

I have had an ongoing issue with the older of my PC's, that being, it keeps loosing/dropping it's internet connection every 2-3 minutes.

I have been dealing with this issue off and on (mostly ongoing...) since updating to Win 10 last year.

This issue isn't just irritating like some issues, but
a really Major issue!

So, whenever I have the time, I come and read what I can in the Microsoft Community for possible fixes.

I try one by one of the suggested steps to others and find that in my one older PC's case, the suggestions/instructions just have
not resolved the Wifi Internet connection issue, yet.

My other PC, lost all form of Wi-fi with a Microsoft update late last year, and I had to go to using the alternative - Ethernet connection since I no longer have any of the necessaries for Wireless.

This issue, too causes to me to come here and watch to see if someone ever comes up with a solution.

I posted in this Forum, but no one ever offered a recommendation, let alone a solution to that issue.

So, I came across this "Network Adapter" help recommendation just recently, that I personally had not tried yet and, by fluke, after the reboot of my older troubled PC, behold, it fixed the blinking cursor issue unexpectedly.

At this time, I am still not sure what setting was causing this issue on my PC, as the results of the hardware scan via the Win 10 troubleshooter, were very vague and no recognizable particulars were mentioned that I could say....ah hah... to.

But it did, for now, resolve this blinking cursor issue.

I hope, in some way that this helps someone with the same issue or maybe even some other issue that is causing them PC distress.

Sometimes, we, who poke around with our PC's find resolutions in some very strange not necessarily related ways.

But if it does the job, that is a good thing!

The above mentioned issues is my reason for contributing as to what helped me with one ongoing/exasperating Win 10 issue.

Thank you and happy support to those who are in need!

Here is the one Microsoft suggestions as to fixing a network adapter problem, that ended up fixed by blinking cursor issue instead:

Hanging cursor

Hi,

There are several reasons why the cursor doesn't respond. One of which is due to a faulty pointing device. To isolate the issue, kindly answer the following questions:

• Does the whole system freeze or just the cursor?
• Are you using the laptop's touchpad or an external pointing device?
• Were there any changes made to your laptop prior to the issue?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

We're looking forward to your response.
