          I installed spiceworks on my laptop to check something and uninstalled it now. The mouse pointer flickering issue is stopped but explorer flickering still remains!

            May be the explorer flickering is something else related to windows 10, as i could see few posts about the same, but wondering why spiceworks could be the cause for this issue on a non admin user.

              Explorer flickering and mouse icon flickering were unrelated as i suspected!

              Final Solution that worked for me:

              Mouse flickering issue fix: Uninstall Spiceworks (Suspecting it was trying to run something and may be crashing due to lack of admin rights)

              For Windows explorer flickering issue, i just disabled the "preview pane" and it fixed that problem as well!

                Spiceworks is not supported in Windows 10...

                  oh! It worked when i ran (was checking the inventory part for something i needed internally), but i guess that explains why!

                    Nor do Windows licenses allow for it on Windows desktops 😉 It requires a Server license.

                      At least if used by more than the local user.

                        Oh it will work but not supported means that you are on your own, I have been dealing with this for the last year or so on the SW community where the application has weird things happening on Windows 10 and Server 2016. As soon as the person goes back to a supported Windows 7, 8.1 or Server 2012 R2 it works fine.
