If your cursor keeps showing the blue loading circle and will not stop spinning, it can be frustrating, which can even indicates some underlying issues with your system in Windows 11.
Method 1 Repair corrupted system files
Windows needs a brunch of system files to function normally. However, these files may have become corrupted, and can cause various issues, including this type of problem. The Windows built-in System File Checker tool and DISM tool can scan and repair corrupted system files.
Step 1. Run CMD as administrator
Press Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box, and enter CMD to run the Command Prompt app as an Administrator.
Step 2. Enter the SFC command
Type the following command in the CMD window and then press Enter to execute the scan. Allow the scan to complete and follow the instructions provided.
sfc /scannow
Step 3. Enter the DISM command
If the SFC command does not fix your constantly loading cursor, keep typing and entering the following DISM commands in the CMD window one by one.
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
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.
