  1. How to remove drop shadows under desktop text?


    .
    After last night's Win update, I now have version 1803.

    All my desktop icons now have drop shadows under the text. How can I remove these shadows?

    I tried Control Panel > System > Advanced System Settings, but I couldn't see the setting.

    Thanks.

  2. Drop Shadows on Desktop

    I want to eliminate the drop shadows on the text under the icons on my desktop. I used the following procedure that hasn't worked:

    - Control Panel, System

    - Advanced system settings

    - Advanced tab, Performance, Settings

    - Unchecked "Save task bar thumbnail previews", "Show shadows under mouse pointer", "Show shadows under windows", and "Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop"

    The drop shadows are still there. How do I get rid of them?

  3. Desktop icon labels have drop shadows

    On my Windows 10 Desktop, the text under icons has an unpleasant shadow. I cannot seem to remove the drop shadows. There is a checkbox (in Advance System Settings), and I have carefully unchecked it, and restarted my PC. But the drop shadows under the
    icon labels persist. I was able to get rid of the drop shadows in Windows 7 quite easily. But so far, I can't accomplish the same task in Windows 10. Any help?

    Cannot remove drop shadow on desktop icons: Desktop Icons are hard to read. I have tried at least 10 different suggestions on Google. All are different. None worked. Why would have such a wonderful program as Windows 11 and make the icon text blurred with a needless shadow?? Help on this, please?...
