Windows 10: Awful Visual Changes after Accidentally Turning On High Contrast Mode

Hello,


I accidentally turned on High Contrast mode today, and when I turned it back off, a bunch of visuals on my version of Windows has been changed. Instead of a transparent task bar and header bar on programs, they are solid gray (even though transparency is on), and all of the bar lines and details are gone from any websites or web browsers I own. I have tried everything I can think of, but it makes everything look awful.





As you can see above, there is no black line below the window tabs, and no lines or any details separating website options or Facebook comments. It makes everything look awful and visually it is impossible for me to get used to.


Is there any way to undo this? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

:)

High Contrast Mode


I turned on high contrast mode. Now it won't change back to normal mode no matter what I do. I tried selecting None in the dialog box for high contrast mode and all the other modes. Nothing works. Help please!
