Black background of folders

Hi, my name is Neil, and I'm a Windows 10 user like you.

I'll be happy to help you with your question.

thewindowsclub website has a good article about this issue. It's important to note though that this is just a graphical issue and it will not cause any damage or corruption to the content of the folders and files. However, it is unsightly and I can completely understand why you want these folders to appear 'normal'.

Please visit their website here: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/black-background....

Try each of the 3 steps listed. One of these will normally resolve the issue. Just remember to reboot after trying each step as some of the steps require a reboot to fully work and clear the thumbnail cache.

Let me know how you get on.

Kindest regards,

Neil

how to change black background to white

Hello Mike,

If I understand it right; to change the background color of your toolbar from black to white, follow these steps:

1. Right-click on your desktop and select Personalize.
   
2. In the left-hand menu, select Colors.
   
3. Scroll down until you see Choose your color and select it.
   
4. Choose the color white, or a lighter shade of your preferred color.
   
5. Your toolbar should now have a white background.
   

If you are still having trouble, please let me know what type of toolbar you are using and on what device or operating system.

I hope this helps.
