    Desktop icon colours change to red [​IMG]Hi,


    A couple days ago i turned my pc on and it was running fine. Then it randomly made some of the colours that my monitor shows, such as green, as red.

    This makes gaming impossible as all i see is just red, and also disrupts online meetings. Ive checked the night light setting was off and only when i switched display port on my graphics card ut was fixed, but then it went back to being red. I reset the whole pc, but it has only lasted ~36 hours before going back to being red. Ive changed the display port like before but it is still red. How can i fix this?


    Thanks,

    :)

  2. colour of desktop icons; favourites bar etc. has changed on my LG desktop monitor

    Desktop icons, favourites bar, and any image that should be red has changed to a
    mauve or purple on my new ( 2 months old) desktop monitor. How can I get back the normal red colour? Would changing the setting of the computer to an earlier date help this problem?

    Cannot change desktop icon

    Sometimes a desktop icon changes from what it was to a plain white folder. Might be something I did but not sure what.

    To change it to the icon I want, I go:
    1. Rt-click icon > Properties > Change icon
    2. I select the icon I want from the thumbnails of icons.
    3. Click OK
    4. Click Apply
    But the icon does not change. It just stays looking like a white folder.
    HOWEVER, if I pin the icon to the taskbar, the icon on the taskbar does look like the icon I selected in step-2. So the change is registered with Win10 but the icon on the desktop just doesn't change.

    Any ideas on how to fix this?
