Coincidentally and immediately following my last posting, Windows update provided notice of another update. That update was just now completed. I'm no longer seeing the waiting cursor issue and if it does return, I'll run Windows performance toolkit.

No idea what happened with SDK.  You may want to remove it and try to re-install it.

Just a quick update (20161004) - The issue is being seen much less frequently; however, I'm still unable to predict when or under what circumstances it necessarily occurs. Yesterday, I observed the waiting cursor issue after launching Oracle's Virtual Box and Windows XP but stop short of thinking they're linked. Today; thus far, it hasn't been observed even though VB-XP has been running most of the morning. I'll continue to monitor this issue.
