Windows 10: Background is not white on my pc. has changed to cream. Why?

Have windows Defender and Malwarebytes.


Most times when I restart the computer, my display screens have my preferred white background

(like working on this)

However, right now This is a cream or off white.

Whole area I am using to type into is not WHITE)

Describing items displayed in my bottom Task Bar.

If this is present it also changes color of displays for logos of programs I have running

including Logos or displays in the bottom right corner of my screen on the taskbar for:

Text display for time and date

symbol for Show hidden icons,

Speaker,

Internet access and

Type here to search on the lower left hand side of the screen

Windows short cut (to the left of the search box) and


Display of short cuts and open programs:

(not all colors are changed:
short cuts for FireFox, Chrome, Paint, OpenOffice, Edge and File Explorer are

in correct color)

Mail and Notifications (symbol or logo?) are off white instead of white

even Windows defender (open right now) shortcuts displays off white.

Many times after Malwarebytes antimalware runs, thing revert to

Correct White display.

Just ran a manual Windows Defender quick scan and nothing changed


and no, I haven't changed any of my display options or

enabled night time or eye saver or whatever that is.

Like 10 but that white background!

Well, I don't use a tablet.
My PC is listed in specs.
The OP was expressing a dislike of a white explorer background.
Someone else posted it was necessary to edit the registry to make changes.
Still others suggested it is a good idea to use a shell replacement ?
And another thought recompiling the explorer.exe binary using an editor makes sense ?
What ?

Using high contrast, it is easy
and a simple few clicks to make all kinds of changes.

It is also easy and simple to switch from default non colorized theme
to high contrast mode. (one click)


Here's another view.









What's this?
