The picture speaks for itself. Basically the black background and yellow highlighting of header. This looks absolutely atrocious and i don't know how to revert back to normal setting. I tried many different options, including "theme" and "color" settings in "personalize" section. I tried reverting font back to default but that didn't work either. Many mention the "high contrast" setting but i have no idea why i would use that, i just have it set to "off". P.S. you may think that this is specifically for notepad but it's not, it's for all windows settings and application windows. I just used no

color settings

Hi,

We understand that you'd like to reset the color settings of your computer to default.

If you're referring to the color settings of the monitor, you can check the device manual for instructions or contact the manufacturer for assistance.

However, if you're referring to the color settings in Windows, you can type
Color Management on the search option and select it from the list. Click
Advanced, click Change system defaults.

In addition, if you have turned on the high contrast mode, we recommend turning it off using the steps
here.

Kindly post back if you have further concerns.

 

SIR -Windows 10 Color Management settings

Color Management is a settings in Windows that helps achieve the same color appearance on all devices like monitors, printers, and scanners. Once you change something on Color Management, it will affect all of your devices connected to your computer. If
you didn't adjust a setting or settings on Color Management, it will not affect the color of your photos when you print it. To further isolate the concern, you can create an image using Paint, and the print it to see if the colors are correct. You can also
check if the issue occurs on specific image file type. For you to customize the colors when you print, we suggest contacting the manufacturer of your printer to check if they have a program for your printer that will allow you to manipulate the colors of your
photo when printing.

Hope to hear from you soon.

 

How to reset the display settings, color resolution, basically everything to do with color?

Oh I see. Well to set the resolution, you can right-click wallpaper and choose Display Settings. I'd make sure your resolution is set to the native/recommended resolution that actually matches how many pixel dots your screen really has.

But then the color settings, I'd try this:

• Go to Settings > System > Display. Scroll down and choose the Display Adapter Properties link.
• Go to the Color Management tab, and click the Color Management button.
• Go to the Advanced tab, and click the Calibrate display button.

If that still doesn't get it back, I'd also try this:

• Click Start to show your Start menu, type "clear" into the keyboard and choose the "Adjust ClearType Text" option.
• Follow this tool to tune your display more.

Beyond that, the next steps are usually to use either the display's buttons to adjust the contrast/brightness. Although if you're on a laptop, those buttons may not exist. The laptop builder might have some software for their machine, but it varies around
by builder.
