Windows 10: When you place the cursor on a file in Explorer, a blue circle appears intermittently.

This is not a PC that is experiencing this problem, but I am attaching a video because it appears to be reproduced similarly. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JhCfAqzAR6qjGxTJwU1n5TDrzTrIzQQI/view?usp=drive_link When you click once on other extension files such as .zip, .xlsx, and .docx, A blue circle will be displayed for 2 to 5 seconds and no action will be possible until it changes back to an arrow icon. Advanced system settings - Even if you turn off animation actions such as preview, it is the same. When using taskmanager, you can see explorer.exe CPU resources increasing. I'm think so

Unresponsive app/spinning blue circle.

I have had an issue for the last month or so with an intermittent spinning blue circle appearing during general desktop use. Sometimes it will pop up as much as every minute or so. I started a related thread here a few weeks ago in which Ten forums member zbook picked up on on some other system issues which he felt should be addressed before troubleshooting the spinning circle.

To date those issues which include an in place upgrade repair, replacing multiple misbehaving drivers that had caused BSOD and fixing the drive file system have been completed and zbook is confident the spinning circle troubleshooting can proceed with members that are more experienced in this type of troubleshooting. He suggested that this may be troubleshooted in a clean boot state and that a 3rd party software may be responsible for the spinning circle. I would appreciate any more assistance with this. Thanks.

I have the blue loading circle next to my cursor.

The blue loading circle is next to the cursor only on screen 1 of my multiple displays. It is not present on Screen 2 or on the laptops display when I open it. I have tried numerous suggested fixes including changing the look of the cursor but nothing
changes it on screen 1.
