Hi @jay2727,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

If the cursor on your HP ENVY Desktop is blinking constantly, it may indicate that the system is busy or there's a process running in the background. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue.

• Check for Updates: Ensure that your operating system, drivers, and software are up-to-date. Sometimes, system updates or outdated drivers can cause performance issues.
• Task Manager: Open the Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc on Windows) to see which processes are using the most resources. Identify any programs or processes consuming a significant amount of CPU or memory and consider closing them.
• Restart your Computer: Restarting your computer can help resolve many temporary issues and free up system resources. Make sure to save your work before restarting.
• Malware Scan: Run a thorough malware scan using your installed antivirus software. Malware can cause system slowdowns and unexpected behavior.
• Check for Background Processes: Review your startup programs and disable unnecessary ones. You can manage startup programs in the Task Manager or using system configuration tools.
• Check for Disk Space: Ensure that you have enough free space on your hard drive. A lack of disk space can lead to performance issues.
• Graphics Drivers: Make sure your graphics drivers are up-to-date. Visit the official website of the graphics card manufacturer (NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel) to download and install the latest drivers.
• Peripherals: Disconnect any external devices or peripherals and see if the issue persists. Sometimes, a malfunctioning device can cause system slowdowns.
• System Restore: If the issue started recently, you might consider using System Restore to revert your system to a previous state when it was functioning correctly.
• Hardware Issues: If the problem persists, there may be an underlying hardware issue. Consider checking for hardware problems, such as faulty RAM or a failing hard drive.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
