Windows 10 batch file: How to get rid of flashing input marker?
I've been making a little 'loading' program with batch (show at the bottom) and when I test it there is that annoying little blinking marker that indicates where to type in the cmd. However, you can't type anything so it is useless. It really takes away from it and it's all I can see.
Is there any way to stop the input marker from blinking?
Or, even better, stop it altogether?
My code is:
@echo off
title Loading...
:start
@echo .
PING localhost -n 2 >NUL
cls
@echo ..
PING localhost -n 2 >NUL
cls
@echo ...
PING localhost -n 2 >NUL
cls
@echo
cls
goto start
windows-10 batch

The solution at https://stackoverflow.com/a/15229150/4609258 might be an approach. It does't remove the cursor, but keeps it at a better position by sending carriage return.
