Windows 10: font color on desktop

Windows must have recently made an update as the desktop background that I had was changed to a picture. I changed it back to a solid color but now the text it almost impossible to read. It is white with a black shadow. I want it to just be black text. Anyone know how to change it. I have done some of the recommended stuff and none of it has worked.


I hate when they do that....if I wanted different backgrounds, I would do it myself.


TIA
