Windows 10: Control panel remove programs in dark mode unreadable

I have this problem in the remove programs panel in control panel. The column which it is sorted on is unreadable, how do I fix it?




:)

 

Programs and Features has a black background in dark mode

I have a weird problem where the programs list background in Programs and Features applet is dark gray/black, as you can see, making the entries almost unreadable:





It's strange because no other Control Panel applets have this issue, and another machine does not have this problem when dark mode is on. This machine has had this issue for ages, and it persisted even after refreshing Windows. Any idea on how to fix it without having to revert to light scheme or use the dreadful Apps and Features app?

Windows 10 build is 19041.338

 

Dark Mode messed up Control Panel

I recently was looking through my installed programs list on Control Panel. However, I noticed something off. You can check the screenshot I have provided below and do keep in mind I have dark mode on. Is this normal? Is it happening to anyone else too?
