  3. Mouse cursor contsantly blinking and not working properly

    I have the same problem. It will not let me select when the mouse pointer is flashing. I have to wait for the computer to be on for awhile to stop the flashing.

    I have reinstalled the mouse software and updated the driver.

    Any suggestions?

    Did you do anything to stop the updates, they are set to auto by default ? Did you restart computer at all since it started updating ?

    Actually problem could be related to issues with MS servers.

    I would delete all files in c:\windows\softwaredistribution folder and check for updates again.

    I have it like that and check every morning or if I hear about it from someplace else. I'm on insider ring so it's even more important to me.

    No there isn't any way to turn off updates completely, just workarounds that might work for what you want.

    Did you try the suggestion from TairikuOkami in this thread? regarding updates

    You posted a question about this in that thread a week ago, there wasn't a response whether that worked for you.

    Go to Services and set Windows Update to Manual. If 'Check for updates' finds nothing, the Service will stay running. If the Service is running, Stop it, or reboot.

    Right-click on Windows Update and select Properties. Four choices will then be available to choose from.
