Why my cursor flashes constantly on Windows 7?

I use a 3 - year-old HP Pavilion Entertainment PC with Windows 7. After some previous issues with malware I recently restored my PC to factory settings and since then have downloaded only Chrome, Microsoft Word 2010, origin, Norton Security Suite and a few other programs I know are safe. I've traveled 180 updates (I don't know why there is so much of...) and everything seems to go well until yesterday morning when I turned on the PC and the cursor blinking (flashing and turn off quickly). I tried to disable Aero, try different non-Aero cursors, and close all programs so the CPU would be low but it kept flickering. Happens in all and any program, it gets faster once using Google Chrome or scrolling in the toolbar. The cursor flashes when using the trackpad, a wired mouse I have, and when using my Wacom tablet. It is not affecting the performance of the computer either, but it's extremely annoying. I scanned for virus, nothing found. Watched the updates for my computer, nothing. I rebooted several times, nothing. It's really frustrating and any advice would be appreciated.

Hello, Lajali,

What is a logitech mouse?

Wash your hands, clean the mouse - it can be static, the origin of the problem.

Go to Device Manager and uninstall the driver and restore

Reboot and Windows will reinstall driver

Go to the manufacturer's website and search for updates

Issue of Google Chrome - google support contact

  • The cursor flashes constantly and will not stop.

    Separated from this thread.

    It does not work. I'm not using Chrome. I use Firefox. The cursor flashes constantly and will not stop. Now, as I type, everything works fine. But in the contrary case, the cursor flicker with the small guard wheel busy with her.

    I had this problem as well - but it has happened when I loaded to the top of Chrome; I tried a lot of different things, but could not solve the problem.

    Then, I saw the post from TonyBrownCloudCo, and I knew he was on the right track here.
    Go to the Google Chrome settings > advanced settings
    Disable Google Cloud Printing - it is a used questionable spooler built-in Chrome browser, it must come from the recent update, because I've never had a problem with it before.
    I hope this works for everyone.

  • The mouse cursor flashes busy

    Hello world

    I've just updated to the latest version of windows 10 and now, every time I enter Acrobat my mouse cursor flashes busy. The Manager of tasks shows 2 different process called Adobe RdrCEF (32 bit), a work constantly and others appearing and disappearing very quickly. If I'm quick enough to close it the problem stops, but it doesn't seem like a convenient way to solve the problem...
    Any ideas what I could do?

    Thank you.

    Hi leo69,

    Please try to uninstall and reinstall the application.

    Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat cleaning - Adobe Labs tool cleaning tool allows to remove Acrobat, then restart your system.

  • Why settings of flash player from adobe ("always ask" is my default setting) does not respond when 'decline' is still selected when 'allow' selected

    This issue has always been on any computer I have used or owned. A small pop-up window opens asking if the information can be stored on my computer and is not removable until "allow" is selected. Why is the option "Deny" shown if it can ever be used? In addition, this pop-up window moves the cursor flashes at a rate of 4 - 5 times faster when a video shows. Any information would be appreciated as it has intrigued me for a long time. Thank you.

    The cursor flashes on everything now... Boxes to fill, bookmarks, etc.. Won't hold everything that was chosen

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

    If disable hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

  • Equium A60: display screen flashes constantly

    My A60 is not so old and after 20 minutes after ignition, the screen flashes constantly for about 10 minutes then stops then starts again. I thought that maybe it's something to do with the computer over heating, but its not even hot and the fan is not blocked. Any Suggestions? Also seems to take ten minutes to load up, which seems to long for a 2.8 GHz machine or is this normal?

    Any help would be appreciated

    Hi aleeg81, it sounds like the power of the backlight may be suffering from malfunction any or there is a loose video connection. Have you tried to adjust the options and the brightness of the screen to see if it improves things to save energy? If the problem persists and your laptop is under warranty, I would recommend send to Toshiba for investigation. Twinkle is not normal and should not be tolerated if your laptop runs hot or not. Windows should not take 10 minutes to load or perhaps you need to remove and change a few things to improve this, see: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=8355

  • Yoga 2 Pro - cursor flashes when moving on some programs

    I have a Yoga 2 Pro with Windows 10. Some programs (for example Thunderbird, LibreOffice), the cursor flashes when moving on the program window. I made sure my screen and touchpad drivers are up to date as well as the BIOS of my laptop. What else could be the cause? It's a bit irritating.

    Mod edit: System model added to the front of the subject line to improve visibility / clarity.

    Went before and refreshed; things seem to work fine now. I guess the moral is 'don't do an upgrade directly from Windows 8.1 to 10'.
