** Cursor is invisible, or appears at times and then disappears
This is known to happen if 'w32-use-visible-system-caret' is non-nil.
That variable is nil by default, but if your system has the "Speech
Recognition" feature enabled, Emacs automatically sets this variable
non-nil at startup to allow the screen reader to read the relevant part
of the Emacs display and dictate it.
To turn this off on modern Windows systems, go to "Settings ->
Accessibility -> Speech", and turn off "Voice access". If you need to
leave this accessibility feature turned on, you can alternatively set
'w32-use-visible-system-caret' to the nil value in your init file:
(setq w32-use-visible-system-caret nil)
If you do need to see the system caret in Emacs windows, you can instead
work around this problem by disabling double-buffering in your init
file:
(set-frame-parameter nil 'inhibit-double-buffering nil)
Note that inhibiting double-buffering might cause the Emacs display to
flicker in some cases.
