Windows 10: Cortana `Ask me anything` is always white as of 11/3/17 on Fall Creato

Cortana `Ask me anything` is always white as of 11/3/17 on Fall Creators edition I have done both the registary trick and Location trick.

Still goes back to White after a re-Start. Also looking at regedit after the Location trick there is no entries on HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search\Flighting\0

BUT on HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search\Flighting\1\WhiteSearchBox
The WhiteSearchBox Value is 1.
I am going to do a Re-start on this and come back and I going the Bet the above is reversed I'll let you know.

I am Back and yes the Above to totally re-written but in reversed: This has got to be the area of the problem.
More test:
I do believe that this is done by Microsoft itself by some server-side change. I did a experiment I used the Settings>Region and Language. to get Cortana Search box back to normal. I test it and it went from White and back to gray like it is suppose to then I pulled the LAN line and did a re-start and tested it again it went white and back to Gray Like it is suppose to. Now I plug the LAN line back in and tested it went to White and stayed White. So Something in the Cloud/Server on Microsoft side is doing this.

Cortana `Ask me anything` is always white

I voted yes on this ("Did this solve your problem"), but alas it was only temporary. After changing the location to Gabon, restarting, to USA, and restarting it fixed the issue. But the following morning when I started up the laptop it was back to being
black-on-white.

 

Cortana `Ask me anything` is always white

I thought this worked after changing the location, restarting the computer, changing it back, and restarting the computer. However, after shutdown the computer overnight and started it the following day it returned to a black on white search field.

 

Hi Starfighterj

Reinstalled Cortana using the following procedure:

1. Open an elevated PowerShell window, press Win + X keys to open PowerShell.

2. Execute following commands one at time.

Code: Get-Process searchui | Stop-Process –Force Get-AppXPackage -Name Microsoft.Windows.Cortana | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}[/quote] 3. Restart your computer.

 

3. Restart your computer.[/quote] I did that Already with Microsoft Tech Support, but did as you said again And it still stays White.

 

Try my post at #16 in:

Cortana/Search field color changing from default gray to white - Page 2 - Windows 10 Forums

This has worked for me, through several restarts and searches.

 

Thanks Stevekir I have been doing that as a work around. Still like light better for apps Guess we will have to wait on perm Fix.

 

I did a clean install sunday with the FCU 1709 and mine is white.
