Some Windows 10 users have mouse pointer issues on their device. The constantly spinning blue circle next to the mouse pointer bothers them constantly. The main reason for this issue is that some background processes are constantly consuming a large amount of processing power.
Although this problem does not affect your Windows 10 operating system, it can be annoying to have a loading circle next to your cursor all the time.
In this post, we will explore some of the best solutions to this problem. Follow the instructions in this list in the order they appear.
How do I remove the cursor from the loading circle? A loading circle may appear next to the cursor due to background apps. The best way to deal with this is to perform a hard reset and disable unnecessary apps and services.
If that doesn't fix the problem, repair your MS Office installation. Finally, make sure to complete all print jobs by eliminating the spooler procedure.
Kill Spooler Service
If you don't have a printer, but you tried to print something, the spooler procedure starts in the background. You must complete the procedure.
- Press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to open Task Manager.
- Then scroll down to find the spooler procedure (for our system this is "Spooler Subsystem Application").
- Right-click the procedure and select End Task. Restart your computer and see if you see a blue circle next to the cursor.
Perform a clean reboot

Sometimes third-party software can interfere with the Windows cursor and thus a spinning blue circle may appear next to the mouse cursor due to this issue. To fix the problem with the spinning blue circle next to the mouse pointer, you need to restart your computer and diagnose the problem point by point.
Stop OneDrive sync procedure
Sometimes this problem can occur due to the OneDrive sync procedure. To fix this problem, right-click the OneDrive icon and select Stop Sync. If you're still stuck, try uninstalling anything linked with OneDrive. This should fix the spinning blue circle next to the mouse pointer without a problem. Regardless, if the issue persists, move on to the next method.
Clear Asus Smart Gesture
If you own an ASUS computer, then it seems that the main culprit in your case is a software called Asus Smart Gesture. Before uninstalling, you can complete the procedure of this service through the task manager. If that doesn't solve the problem, you can uninstall the Asus Smart Gesture software.
