  3. display has lost its colour to black and white

    Hello ghania,

    It sounds like you may have turned on Color Filters by mistake. Check using the tutorial below to see if you may have, and turn it off if so to restore color.

    Check cable, and verify driver is up to date.

    I have no idea what might have caused it, but has your "color saturation" setting somehow been changed to zero?

    I ended up restoring my computer to several day's before this happened and when it restarted it was fine, I dont know what caused it. I think I hit ctrl-c twice was coping something when it did it. Its fine now

    pffffffffffffffff WTF I had a thought and it is a fat finger error but that's crazy because it's easy to make this mistake.

    ctrl + windows key + c

    Windows 10 has a feature to apply a color filter to your screen. The keyboard shortcut for this is Windows + Ctrl + C, and the default color filter is "Grayscale". I inadvertently got into this mode, and to get out of it you just press the keychord again. Or you can go to Settings > Personalization > High contrast settings, then Click the toggle button under "Apply color filter" to turn it off.

    Happened to me, for the first time ever, last night.

    The setting survives a reboot.

    A little Googling failed to find an official reference to the key sequence. Thanks to "droidly" for pointing out the "fat finger error".
