Windows 10: Highlight color changed everywhere after update

After the latest Windows Update the color scheme for the highlight has changed.Other color settings may have changed as well, but the highlight color is the most obvious because it has become TOTALLY ILLEGIBLE!It seems all apps are affected but at least Excel, Outlook and Snipping Tool.The highlight color for all all apps have changed from bright yellow to some awful orange.Example outlook:Example Snipping Tool:I need a fix so that in all apps including old Excel spreadsheets the normal yellow highlight color is used.I appreciate any help on this very annoying productivity kil

How to change the highlight color properly / permanently?

Hi folks.

I'm trying to change the highlight color Win10 is using to highlight text and other objects.

As far as I could figure it out, the default value is (r0 g120 b215), the "standard Win10 blue", which is stored in the registry here:

• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors\Hilight

Editing this key can be done manually or by using third party tools (e.g. "Classic Color Panel" from WinTools), changes take effect after restarting the Windows explorer - so far so good.

Now comes the strange part: The old/default color comes back after a user is logged off and on again, or after the system was hibernated. After rebooting the modified color is there again.

This problem occurs/occurred so far in all version (build 1507 to 1709) and editions (home and pro).

Any suggestions how to change the highlight color properly (and permanently)?

Greets,
