    I accidentally pressed a shortcut and everything now looks weird.


    So I was playing a game and I got annoyed and hit my keyboard but a shortcut messed up my screen. My entire laptop is very weird now. I had this problem before and fixed it but I forget how. Some things that happened are:My wallpaper disappeared and is just gray nowThe outlines on most applications are yellow.The colors in my browser are completely different Opera GXI know this is not a virus since it happened as soon as I keyboard mashed. Please tell me what I need to do to return my computer back to normal.

    :)

    I would suggest you to try the following steps and check if that helps.

    • Go to the folder C:\Windows\System32 and sort by file type.
    • Look for the screensaver file type (.scr).
    • Find the file scrnsave.scr(you can choose any of the screensavers).
    • Right click and select send to>desktop (create shortcut). The shortcut on my attachment, but when i click on it my screen goes off and on and nothing else.I accidentally pressed a shortcut and everything now looks weird. :)

    keyboard weird shortcuts

    Hi,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

    I suggest you to follow the below methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1: Use the hardware troubleshooter to fix the issue

    The Hardware Troubleshooter is an automated tool which will check the hardware connected to the computer for any known issues with it and provides the details and on how to fix them. Follow these steps and run the troubleshooter.
    Follow these steps:

    • Press Windows key to get the Start menu.
    • Type Troubleshooting in the search box right up corner and hit enter.
    • Click on Troubleshooting tab.
    • Click on view all option on the upper left corner.
    • Select the Hardware and Device options from the list.
    • Click Next to run the Hardware and Device Troubleshooter.
    Method 2: Also I suggest you to update the latest keyboard drivers for Windows 10 from the manufactures website if not available then install the driver in compatibility mode and check if it helps.

    Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
