Windows 10: Everything is underlined, how do I get back to normal?

I logged into my computer the other day and noticed everything is underlined and opens with a single click. After checking the obvious (folder options) with no success I searched for alternative answers. I have tried half a dozen registry hacks, removing recent updates, removing recent Lenovo updater, virus scans, hard drive scans, I even removed the Open Shell Menu to see if it got messed up. Unfortunately I don't have a restore point.

Does anyone have any ideas other that what I have already come up with doing Google searches. I really hate to have to reinstall Windows for something like this.

Windows 10 Pro 20H2

Thanks

I suggest you to follow below steps to enable shortcut underlines and check if it resolves the issue.

1. Open Control Panel by right click on
Start Button.

2. Select Ease of Access Center and scroll down the list and click “Make the Keyboard Easier to Use”

3. Check the option Underline Keyboard Shortcuts
and Access Keys under Make it easier to use keyboard shortcuts.

Now you’ll see the shortcut keys are underlined.

Everything Is Underlined

Hello Madbiker1960,

Double check your Folder Option settings to make that you have Underline icon titles only when I point at them selected in step 3 of Option 1 from the tutorial below.
