QApplication::setOverrideCursor is ignored on Windows 10 ( synchronous operations)

I use QApplication::setOverrideCursor as suggested:

application.setOverrideCursor(QCursor(Qt::WaitCursor));
// time-consuming operation here
application.restoreOverrideCursor();

On Linux the cursor changes to the WaitCursor as expected, but on Windows 10 it remains the same. Using Qt 5.7.0 MSVC 2015 64bit.
