Method 2 Remove browser plugins
Removing browser plugins can help solve the loading cursor issue, too. Sometimes, these browser plugins can cause performance issues or conflicts, thus leading to system slowdowns or crashes.
If neither the SFC nor the DISM command can fix the issue, you can keep using Wise Program Uninstaller to remove the browser plugins. This tool is designed for removing unwanted or stubborn programs, and batch removing unwanted browser extensions, plug-ins and add-ons on Windows computers. It is perfectly applicable to the main browsers on the market, including Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox and Opera.
