The mouse cursor flickering issue can be quite frustrating and might be indicative of underlying system problems. Here are some steps you can take to address this problem:

1. Update Mouse Drivers:​

• Ensure that your mouse drivers are up to date. Go to the Device Manager and right-click on your mouse device to update the drivers.

  2. Check for Hardware Issues:​

• Try using a different mouse to see if the problem persists. If another mouse doesn't flicker, it might be a hardware issue with your current mouse.

  3. Perform a Clean Boot:​

• Perform a clean boot to determine if the flickering is due to a third-party application or service. This will help identify any conflicting software causing the flickering.

  4. Check for Background Processes:​

• Monitor Task Manager to see if any particular process is consuming excessive resources when the mouse cursor flickers.

  5. Run System File Checker:​

• Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run the System File Checker using the sfc /scannow command. This will check for and repair any corrupted system files.

  6. Update Graphics Drivers:​

• Ensure your graphics drivers are up to date. Outdated or corrupt graphics drivers can sometimes cause cursor flickering issues.

  7. Check for Malware:​

• Perform a full system scan with your antivirus software to rule out malware or hidden threats causing the issue.

  8. Adjust Visual Effects:​

• Go to System Properties > Advanced System Settings > Performance > Settings and adjust visual effects to see if it affects cursor flickering.

  9. Disable Visual Effects:​

• Temporarily disable any fancy visual effects such as mouse shadows or cursor animation to see if they are causing the flickering.

  10. Additional Troubleshooting:​

• If the issue persists, run the Windows in Safe Mode to see if the issue is related to third-party software. You can also consider a system restore to a point before the flickering started. Addressing cursor flickering involves a process of elimination and testing different settings and software configurations to pinpoint the root cause. If the issue remains unresolved, consider reaching out to your system administrator or a tech support professional for further assistance.
