Windows 10: Chrome is stuck on dark mode

I had to reinstall Windows today on my laptop, I also reinstalled Chrome and it is stuck in dark mode. There is no setting under Appearance to change it and even the flag chrome://flags and dark mode did not help. I would appreciate if anyone has any help on this.I am on Windows 2004, all updates current. The problem is not present in Edge so I know its not any of my Windows settings. Thanks.

Disable Chrome Dark Mode?

This fix no longer works in the latest version of Chrome. Is there another way of showing Chrome in ' normal' mode ? Windows 10 – Disable Google Chrome DARK MODE – takujingi

 

Disable Chrome Dark Mode?

My wife had the dark mode on her computer and wanted to swap back to regular. I found this fix and it worked well.
Put this in your browser address bar without the quotes "chrome://flags/#enable-force-dark" and make sure the switch is on "Default". Hope this works for you.

 

My taskbar seems to be stuck on dark mode

My taskbar seems to be stuck on dark mode, I can change to dark and I get the task bar settings back (I get white text and icons), but when I change both options (windows mode and app mode) to light, the checkbox for accent colour on task is greyed out. My taskbar shows dark text and icons in light mode whether I have a dark or light background image

Duh! Figured out the default should in fact be dark mode. I thought it was light by default, but it's the other way around. No wonder I couldn't tick the box to apply accent colour to taskbar! It's not really obvious in the settings. Has the transparency setting changed? It's been a while since I tinkered around with my colours and settings. I seem to remember there being a slider to set the level of transparency for the taskbar, but this doesn't seem to be available anymore.
