Sometimes, a program or driver may be causing a spinning blue circle in that case you will have to check for any recent program or driver changes made to the system and reverse them.īased on what you're telling me, you likely have a corrupt file system or corrupt operating system. Having to wait 5 minutes or more in between mouse clicks is also definitely not normal. What is not normal is the behavior you're describing, where the spinning blue circle is seen for extended periods of time and slows the entire system down severely and in your case, a 20 minute boot is definitely not normal. This is normal behavior, providing that the spinning blue circle switches back to the pointer and you can continue using the system as normal. Since the operating system is made up of hundreds or thousands of independent modules programsyou may see the spinning blue circle appear often, especially if you power on or reboot the system. A spinning cursor means the system is busy. I will call you back as soon as possible.

If you want this problem fixed ASAP, send me an email and don't forget to leave your phone number. Update : I'm getting a lot of emails from folks asking for help on this. I've also read your previous article on the spinning blue circle but it didn't apply. I have not made any changes to the system lately, so I'm not sure what is causing the issue. Sometimes it takes 20 minutes or more to boot the computer, whereas previously it took only a few minutes.

It's maddening! I've tried restarting the system several times already, but the spinning blue circle is relentless. Most of the time I can't click the Start button or anything, for that matter because the spinning blue circle won't let me click on anything.Įven if the white pointer appears, if I click on something it takes 5 minutes for anything to happen. The spinning blue circle will appear for minutes at a time, then switch back to the white pointer for a brief second, then back to the spinning blue circle. Since last week, my Windows 10 computer keeps showing a constant spinning blue circle instead of a white pointer.
