    How to Reset Windows 10 Theme to Default


    I recently changed my Windows 10 theme to the color "dark grey." Now that's the color of everything of course and I can't seem to change it back. I never changed it before, it used to be the top bar of applications was white while the task bar was black. Now its all one color. I don't see a default button anywhere and am wondering if anyone knows how to reset the settings.

    Thanks.

    :)

    Locked out of Windows after Fall Creators Update

    Ok, I did not know of that Double Login issue with Creators Update. Maybe this is related?

    Yes, true that Safe Mode should not load any 3rd party stuff so those might not be to blame. But I would still like to reset my boy's user account theme to Windows 10 default. To be sure.

    I googled that Personalise\Themes settings in Registry are here:

    Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes

    Those are my settings. So if I were to edit my boys theme, I would need to edit his registry keys, as shown here:

    How to edit hkey_current_user for another user

    Now I just need to google up how to safely edit those theme Registry keys to reset the theme to Windows 10 default.

  3. windows 10 default theme

    Hello notpcsavvy,

    The default theme for Windows 10 is the "aero.theme" file in the "C:\Windows\Resources\Themes" folder.

    Option 1 or 2 in the tutorial below can help show you how to change your theme to the default "Windows" theme if needed.

    How to Reset Windows 10 Theme to Default

    There's a lot of choices when right-clicking a blank area of the desktop, choosing Personalize. There's Background, Colors, Themes, etc.

    Thanks but when I follow that tutorial my screen is a little different (as shown). I went to the high contrast area and everything is turned off. I should mention that this started when I got a new background program that had the option to sync the Windows Color with the background. At the time I had a grey background which is why everything turned grey but I since disabled that and am unable to turn it back. I attached a picture to show where it says grey colored. I see that it says I have a custom screen but I don't see a reset button anywhere.

    Thanks! On the setting "show accent color on the following surfaces" I had both things checked which was the issue.
