File Explorer address bar turned black

Hi there, to elaborate on the thread title: after updating to build 1709/Fall Creators update, File Explorer's address bar has spontaneously turned black and for the life of me, I can't revert it to white like it was before.

My Google-fu is coming up empty here, as variations of the search string "windows 10 file explorer address bar black" haven't really dredged up anything useful.
Any ideas short of doing a complete OS reinstall?
Attached is a screenshot of File Explorer as it currently is.

 

delete address bar history

Hi,

Due to the limited information shared on your post regarding the drop-down list in Internet Explorer address bar, we would like to ask for additional information to help us identify the steps to solve your concern. Please answer the following:

• What is the current build and version of the Windows 10 device that you are using?
• What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
• Are you referring to the automatic search when typing in the address bar?

We will wait for your response.

 

Disable Web Search in File Explorer Address Bar Windows 10

Hi, looking at group policy (you may only have Home) this might be possible - however the wording is a little ambiguous given Cortana search and file explorer search. And whether it affects the address bar is another matter.

So just a first thought...

If you have Home you would need the registry equivalent.

If there is a tutorial on tenforums that addresses this, that would be quoted.
