The hourglass appears relative to a specific application that is "busy" loading or doing something else and is not "ready" for you to interact with it's window with the keyboard or mouse.
If it is not Windows itself that is "busy", then you can activate a window of a different app and interact with that while waiting for the "busy" app to finish what it is doing and be ready to interact with you again.

At what point does the hourglass appear? After boot-up? While logging in?
Or when an application is loaded or being run?
