Nothing should change

Actual behavior

This is a "visual bell" -- vim is telling us to invert the screen colors for a split second to tell you that you did something it didn't like.

Here's some info on disabling belling, both audible and visual

But I'm not getting that same thing in command prompt!! What's the reason??

But I'm not getting that same thing in command prompt!! What's the reason??

That's because conhost (the vintage console application) doesn't support visual bells.

doesn't support visual bells

YET. The next version of Windows will almost certainly have support for visual bells in conhost.
