    High Contrast Mode in Windows 10

    So I was messing around with the high contrast settings and after that, when I pressed some buttons (one combination is left shift+left alt+print screen which is the way to get out of high contrast mode) and the high contrast mode shows up for a second
    and disappears. It is getting a little tedious seeing this so I was wondering how I could fix this. The computer I am using runs Windows 10 and was upgraded from windows 8.1.
