Visual Studio gets the cursor settings from your OS settings. You can stop the cursor from blinking by changing the cursor blink rate to "none".

Windows XP/7/8/8.1

  1. Go to Control Panel.
  2. Click on the Keyboard item.
  3. Under "Change blink rate" move the slider to "none" position.

Windows 7: change cursor blink rate

Windows 10

Due to the discontinuation of the Control Panel in Windows 10, and the absence of corresponding option in the new Settings app, the easiest way to bring up the Keyboard Properties window is to run the following command from the Run prompt.

control keyboard

The same command can be used in previous Windows versions if you find this method easier.

Visual Studio Code: Note that this does not work with Visual Studio Code per version 1.22.2, because unlike Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code has its own controls for displaying and animating the cursor.
