    Cannot interact with title bars in Explorer on first logon


    On a domain joined Windows 10 PC(1809), for the duration of a new users' first logon, they are unable to interact with explorer.exe's Title bars. For example. Clicking on the 'x' at the top right of the window does nothing. Users are also unable to click and drag the window using the title bar. The problem is only resolved by logging out and back in.


    Does anyone have any ideas what is happening here and also how to fix it?

    :)

    Understand that default Title Bar in Windows 10 is white, However when I click on themes (which shows various title
    bar/window borders colors (or Shades) my Title Bar stays completely white. Can anyone understand my questions & have any suggestions?

    Explorer title bar text color too bright grey

    Hi Loraine, thanks for your answer.

    The High contrast settings are changing all colours in a direction that I do not like at all.

    It's for business and I try to stay more or less close to the Windows 7 settings.

    The result with the original too bright title bars is:


    Cannot interact with title bars in Explorer on first logon b056ee74-209f-49de-b837-c7ae99c3feac.jpg


    After setting the AccentColorInactive to b8b4b0 (BGR), the result is:


    Cannot interact with title bars in Explorer on first logon 4ccf92f8-7e22-4c14-af6a-ab23c8aea1b6.jpg


    Now you can now see 2 problems that I have:

    • The File Explorer title bar gets a poor text contrast, while the Notepad title bar is OK. This is related to the presence of buttons in the File Explorer title bar.

      The text colour in the File Explorer title bar is the same as without the grey background.

      In the Notepad window the text colour gets darker than the original color.

      The addition of colors seems to happen in a different way.
    • The Windows 10 Settings window has a blue title bar when active and a still a white title bar when inactive.

      The AccentColorInactive parameter does not set that color.
    It would be nice if Microsoft could improve the colour experience.

    Just an additional button "Show color on inactive title bar".
