That usually happens when you have another application running in the background while playing. The arrow appears because the application is requesting attention from Windows, and Windows focus it's attention in the main APP (the game) but also gives the other APP some CPU time (and accepts the request).
Look for the APP that is doing that or you may try downloading TweakUI, in the General tab just check "Prevent applications from stealing focus".
