  3. Cursor blinking and strange behaviour

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community. I understand the inconvenience you are facing. I will certainly help you with this.

    Before Proceeding Further, I would need some more information from you.

    • Did you try connecting another mouse and check if this issue happens with it?
    • What are the recent changes that you have made to the computer prior to this issue?
    I would suggest you to try the following methods and check if that resolves the issue:

    Method 1: Run the Hardware Troubleshooter

    The Hardware Troubleshooter is an automated tool which checks the hardware connected to the computer for any known issues and provides the details on how to fix them. Follow these steps to run the troubleshooter.

    • Press “Windows Logo” + “Q” keys from the keyboard.
    • Type “Troubleshooting” in the search bar and press “Enter”.
    • In the “Troubleshooting” window, click on “View All” on the left pane.
    • Click on “Hardware and Devices”.
    • Click on “Advanced” and then click on “Run as Administrator”.
    • Click “Next” and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the troubleshooting process.
    Now, check if you still face this issue with the mouse cursor. If the issue persists, then try the next method.

    Method 2: Check the Cursor Blink Rate and adjust it if needed

    • Press “Windows Logo” + “Q” keys on the keyboard to display the “Settings” search bar.
    • Type “Blink Rate” in that search box and press “Enter”.
    • On the “Keyboard Properties” window, reduce the
      Cursor blink rate
      by moving the slider to its left.
    • Click on “Apply” and then “Ok”.
    In future, if you have any issues related to Windows, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.

    Thank you.

    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.

    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.
