  1. Flashing icon alerts color on Taskbar in Windows 11


    How can I change the color of the alert when a specific app is trying to get my attention in the taskbar?I use a chat app at work and I'm frequently missing chats or other alerts becuase the color of the alert is more of a "glass" or very light. I've tried to change the taskbar color from light to dark and either way it's unbeliveably hard to see it if I'm not staring at it waiting to barely see the alert.I got it to accidentally show it as an opaque whitish contrast color by switching themes very fequently and when I went to change the color of the Windows Default Mode in COLORS from LIGHT to

  2. Changing the taskbar color to white in Windows 10

    Hi Michael,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated.

    In Windows 10 there is no option for changing the color to white but you can change it to different colors. To change the color of the task bar I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

    • In the search box, type settings.
    • Then select personalization.
    • Click on color option on the left side.
    • You will find an option called “show color on start, taskbar and start icon”.
    • You need to on the option and then you can change the color accordingly.
    Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

    Windows 11 taskbar icons not working

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I appreciate your interest in Windows 11. I understand that Taskbar icons are not working after upgrading to Windows 11. I’ll certainly assist you with the issue.



    However, please let us know:



    1. What happens when you click on an icon on the Taskbar?
    2. Do you receive any error message/code?
    3. Does this issue occur with all the icons?

    Meanwhile, I would suggest you to try re-registering the taskbar and see if that works. Kindly follow the steps mentioned below.



    1. Press Windows + X keys together and click on Windows PowerShell (Admin)
    2. Now type in the following command and hit Enter: Get-AppXPackage -User ([System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent().Name) *ShellExperienceHost* | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}
    3. Restart the PC once the command is complete.

    If the issue persists, you can try creating a new user account and then see if you are able to access the icons on the Taskbar.



    Let us know how it goes.



    Regards,

    Nikhar Khare

    Flashing icon alerts color on Taskbar in Windows 11

    Stop taskbar icons from flashing when there's been an alert

    When a program has an alert of some sort and it isn't in the foreground, the corresponding taskbar icon flashes orange a few times, then glows solid orange.

    It's useful to have it glow solid orange. But how to disable the flashing?

    Is it possible to prevent it from flashing, without directly modifying the registry?
