    That process you liked to disabled Click to Run, deleted some files, and re-enabled Click to Run. Any reason to re-enable it if I'm using an old (pre-Office15) Office? Does Windows use this service for anything other than the current Office?

    I had read using Task manager and disable "One Drive" may resolve. But...I'm not sure what I may be losing by disabling "One Drive"
    if one drive can easily be re opened,
    I do have pictures on One drive, actually I have pictures all over, it seems when I download pics they go to one drive, pictures etc
    Please understand, I'm 82 I don't seem to learn quickly or remember what I learned very well. funny, it didn't used to be this way.
    I suppose the answer is go back to using a pen and paper, if PCs are so difficult.

    If you have the same problem I do, disabling OneDrive in the task manager or anywhere else may not be the solution, it did not work for me.

    But something else worked. I noticed that the only running process in the Task manager I had never stopped was Chrome. Even if I was not using it, it kept showing up so I tried. I disabled it and the spinning cursor stopped.

    I searched for a reason and found it here: ​Stop Chrome from Running In the Background After You Close It

    Once I unticked the "Let Google Chrome run in the background" option, no more blue circle! It worked for me, I hope it works for you, good luck!

    Mate, I have no idea.

    I am running Windows 10 Pro and Office 365 and it got rid of the blue circle I had.

    I am experiencing this same issue, and have narrowed it down to the use of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. The issue only started when the Windows 10 Anniversary Update was applied, but I see the working circle next to the arrow the entire time I have any PDF documents open. I checked to see if there are any updates for Reader DC, but Adobe tells me I have the latest version. Does anyone know if there are specific settings within Reader that should be tweaked to eliminate this issue? I know I could switch to a different PDF reader, but I use the notation functions, both for myself and to tweak those made by coworkers, so I'd like to be able to stay with this software.

    Hi I just wanted to say thanks for this - this was driving me insane and thanks to this post I was able to narrow it down to Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. As soon as I quit out of it, the problem went away. Adobe will hopefully have an update soon as I am running the most recent version from Creative Cloud.

    I am having the same problem on my Asus. As far as I know I do not have fingerprint access
    Go to Task Manager, right click on Asus SMart Gesture Loader and click on End Task. This will stop the flashing circle
