    Colors in Windows/Office not displaying correctly


    When I opened my computer this morning, my background was black rather than the cycle of images Window's 10 normally offers. I still had the opportunity to sign in, but when I did, my desktop background was black as well! When I opened Word, everything is black where white is supposed to be and any words typed out show up white. It is the same thing in Powerpoint, and other Office programs. When I search with Google Chrome, my pages look relatively normal (though my shortcuts bar has black surrounding the shortcuts.) When I open Internet Explorer, however, once again it is all reversed--black screen with white and yellow words.


    In short, the colors are not displaying correctly when using windows programs. Any idea what is causing this or how it can be fixed.


    Thank you for any advice/input

    :)

  2. Color bit depth is at 6-bit on Display properties of Windows 10 pro

    Try the below suggested steps and check if the suggested options are available to change the Color bit Depth value



    1. Right click on the desktop and select NVIDIA Control Panel.
    2. Expand the Display, and then highlight the Change resolution.
    3. On the right side, check if there is 8 bpc listed under
      Output color depth.
    4. You may select 8 bpc and restart the device to witness the changes.

    how to fiix my display colors

    Hi Farbod,

    We have different options to personalize your PC depending on your choice. To set your PC's display color back to default, you can follow the steps below:

    • Type calibrate display color in the Search fieldlocated at the taskbar.
    • Enter your admin username and password in the User Account Control.
    • Click Yes then access the settings to calibrate your PC's display colors.

    If that does not work for you, you can also try to go to Color Settings. You can choose
    Default blue as the Windows color.

    Let us know should you need additional assistance.
