I see a nice steadily blinking cursor until the end of the second Sleep. Then, when the prompt appears, the behavior is unpredictable. The cursor may not blink at all, or it may blink oddly, as if it's being controlled by two (independent) timers. I'm curious ... does issuing the prompt do anything at all that would/could affect the blinking of the cursor?
There's a Windows API "SetCaretBlinkTime" that adjusts the console cursor blink rate.
TCC never calls that API. And issuing the prompt does nothing that should affect the cursor blinking. On my system, an "echo %@consoleb[0]" does not affect the cursor blinking. (Win 10.0.18298.1000)
Try "echo %@consoleb[0]" twice. In a stand-alone test EXE that uses SetConsoleActiveScreenBuffer I have to do it twice (i.e., go to a second alternative buffer) to see the misbehavior. But it was there, so apparently it has nothing to do with TCC.
When did you get 10.0.18298.1000? I'm on 18290.rs_prerelease.181121-1501 (10.0.18290.1000).

182898 is on its way. Getting a new version of the OS clobbers some customizations of mine, notably
1. my PSUBSTs are removed
2. I lose write access to a subkey of HKLM\...\Services (gotten with the ancient SUBINACL.EXE)
3. I get back all the stuff in "This PC" that I've hidden (3DObjects et al.)
This will be my first chance to test a REG file and a BTM that will (hopefully) fix all that.
Did you have builds between 18290 and 18298? I had monkeyed with a GP telemetry policy and that had an effect on my updates. I backed off on that and then could find the latest.
