Windows loading icon stays visible after launching app

See original GitHub issue

Hey, I’m not sure if this is a bug, but I think it’s a little abnormal.

But basically, when you click on nw.exe, the loading icon next to your mouse cursor appears for 3-5 seconds. Example: https://i.gyazo.com/b8c93f501b77d6a811a7750dc8f805d0.gif

I thought this had to do with what was inside my index.html, but you can have a blank index.html and it still does it.

My operating system is: Windows 7, 64-bit Professional Samsung EVO 250GB SSD

Build Tested Under nwjs-sdk-v0.13.3-win-x64

So, I don’t think performance here is an issue. But, as you can see from the gif the app is already loaded, but the loading icon next to the cursor stays there for an excessive period of time.

If you need any other OS spec’s please let me know. I am not sure if this classifies as a ‘bug’, and maybe it’s just how nw.js runs, so I apologize. I just think it’s a bit strange the loading icon stays there even after the app is loaded. 🎱

Edit: Maybe it’s just happening on Windows 7? Can anyone else confirm for 7, or if it’s not happening on 8 or 10?
