    Can't read desktop Icon text descriptions. No "shadow" text.


    Running Windows 10 home and desktop icon text descriptions are not using "shadow" font so white text is invisible on white backgroud. Messed with a variety of display settings and started working but now has stopped again back to same problem. Any suggestions?

    :)

    Hi there...

    No screenshot? Ok, my guess is the text shadow's been enabled, check the tutorial below:

    Update caused Shadow on desktop icon text


    Hello,
    I just had a update on Win10 Pro 64b and it has made my desktop icon text almost unreadable as it has put a black shadow on the text. Any ideas please?
    Many thanks in advance
