Wallpaper (background) color

Hi Aaron,

I realize that the background color changed from blue to black. I will try to help you with this issue.

• 
  Did you make any changes to the PC prior to this issue?
  

Close all open windows, restart the computer once and then login to the computer to check if that helps.

Suggest you to refer to this article to check if that helps.

Further you may also want to ensure that default theme is selected. Follow these steps:

• 
  Press Windows key + I to get the Settings screen.
  
• 
  Click Personalization and select Themes.
  
• 
  Click on Theme Settings to select Windows Default Themes.
  

Keep us informed to help you further.

 

Default Background color on widescreen video playback

Thanks for the reply but it didn't work for me. It merely changed the application's theme, not the background color of a video playback.

  Enter.
• Click on Personalization, and then choose Colors.
• Under Choose a color (Automatically pick an accent color from my background), set the toggle button to
  On.
• Set the toggle button to Off for the following:
