    Mouse pointer is always blinking. Hundreds of Win explorers generated


    My mousepointer blinking and shows green spinning circle, this happens when I move mousepoint over desktop or task bar.

    I opened Task Manager and noticed hundreds explorer.exe processes are running, however only one Windows Explorer icon is displayed in the Task Bar.

    I guess that some program is always trying to start another instance of Windows Explorer.

    How can I trace it? How can I find a program (or a service, event, etc) which causing clogging of my computer?

    Thanks

    To trace which program started those instances please use Process Explorer by Microsoft's Sysinternals.

    I would check for malware too.
    You can use free tools like Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool or Malwarebytes etc.
