Windows 10: How to disable colored window border ?

I didn't have this problem until last week-end 16-17 December. Before that, i didn't restart my pc for some time 1 bit less than a week and so decided to restart it. When it finished, there were now those border to windows. As you can see in the picture, the setting "Title bars and window borders" is disabled. I tried to enable it, disable it again, rebooting in between but none have worked. The only other cause I can see would be the windows update i had the last time I rebooted before the one where i got that problem. Does anyone have an idea ?

:)

 

Is it possible to remove the 1-pixel border around windows that the "Show accent color on title bars and windows borders" setting refers to?

Things I've attempted and do NOT work:

• Personalization > Colors > Show accent color on title bars and windows borders > Off. This just uses a default contrasting color for the Dark theme. It does NOT make the 1px border disappear.
  
• Personalization > Colors > Custom Colors > View Colors > More > RGB = #000000 > Done. It feels like this will work, but pressing View Colors again shows a warning "This color looks like it might be hard to read." and changes the color code to something else and highly visible.
  
• Accessibility > Contrast Themes. No options to disable the border.
  
• Accessibility > Color Filters. No option to disable the border.
  
• Personalization > Themes. No option to disable the border.
  
• System > Display > Graphics. No option to disable the border (or to disable hardware acceleration since some older articles say that's the trick to disabling the rounded window borders as well.)
  

If it matters: Windows Update is up to date. Graphics driver (RTX 3060) up to date. All applications in use are up to date. (In fact, the problem became really noticeable today after an older version of an app that used to be able to go fullscreen on launch w/o the really annoying rounded border now launches with the really annoying rounded border. I have to toggle it manually out of fullscreen and back to fullscreen to get rid of the really annoying rounded border. Ugh. By the way, the unwanted border is really annoying and ruins the desired UX, not sure if I mentioned that as the problem yet...)

Also if it matters: Dual 27" 1440p 144Hz IPS Viewsonics with certified VESA DP 1.4 cables. No flickering, jittering, etc. with high res FPS games, etc. One has HDR on. The other has HDR off.

 

Windows 10 how to get rid of thick colored borders!!!

Thanks for the feedback. We missed one thing in adjusting the border size. Please follow the above steps, but in step 5, instead of
PaddedBorderWidth, double click BorderWidth and set it to 0.

To change the color of the title bar to white, follow these steps:

• Open Settings and select Personalization.
• In the left pane, click Colors.
• Look for Show color on title bar and toggle it Off.
  

Let us know if you need further help.

Step 1:

This issue may occur if the Windows files are damaged/corrupted. Follow the below steps and check if it helps.

• 
  Press ‘Windows + X’ Keys on the keyboard.

Note: If you are not able to repair some files after performing SFC scan, I suggest you to refer to the point 3 “Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them. Details are included in

to repair the corrupted files after performing SFC scan.

• Select Programs and Features.
• Select Turn Windows features on or off.

• Select Yes and click on OK
  button.
• Restart the computer, follow the steps from the 1 to 6 again and make sure that you have checked the box
  Windows media player in step 6.

Now the try to open the Windows media player and check if you are able to change the video border color.

Note: As you have tried to pick the colors from the available colors, I suggest you to check whether the issue persists when you try to add the custom color as the video border color.
