  2. Win-10 themes keep changing

    Hi,

    Thank you for providing the information.

    • Did you try the steps suggested by Suvarna Govinda above, what was the result?
    As I understand the issue, Themes in Windows doesn't have the options to change on its own. Only the Wallpapers in the themes can change as selected ( Picture, Solid color and Slide Show ).

    I would suggest you to make us understand that if the Wallpapers are changing in Theme which you have selected.

    Below are the steps you can check if it helps.

    • Press Windows + I keys and select Personalization.
    • Select Theme and select the Default theme.
    • Select the Desktop Background below and select the Picture
      and save it and check.
    Please post us back if the issue resolves. We are glad to help you.

  4. I cant restore my windows11 to the default icons theme after changing it to something else

    I changed my taskbar icons and now I don't know how to change them back to their default icon...

    Hi AZ,

    Thanks for your response.

    We would suggest you to perform these steps and check.

    1. Press Windows + I key to open
      Settings

    2. Click on Personalization
      and select Themes from the left pane.
    3. Select Desktop icons settings. Check the option Allow themes to change Desktop icons.
    4. Click on OK.
    5. Go to Themes and change theme to any other. Check if the icons restore to default.

    If the issue persists, then perform these steps to rebuild Icon cache

    1. Click on Start menu and type
      CMD, right click on CMD and select Run as Administrator.
    2. Copy and paste the below commands and press
      Enter after every command:
    ie4uinit.exe -show

    taskkill /IM explorer.exe /F

    DEL /A /Q "%localappdata%\IconCache.db"


    DEL /A /F /Q "%localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\iconcache*"

    shutdown /r /f /t 00

    Note:
    the last command will restart the PC.
