That just means it has the current keyboard focus. (It is still possible in 2025 to drive Windows without a mouse.
The white circle around the Windows icon usually means Windows is loading or processing something at startup; if your keyboard also malfunctions, try updating drivers and running a system scan, as it could be a startup glitch or hardware issue.
Windows has visual indicators for accessibility features, which might include highlights or focus rings around icons.

This white circle is likely an indicator that your PC is in "Focus assist" or "Ease of Access" mode, or it might be related to some accessibility feature. Sometimes, Windows adds visual cues like this when certain features are activated.
