Windows 11 / Contrast Themes & Update KB5007651 Version 1.0.2306.10002

Hi

Welcome to Microsoft community.

As per your description, it seems like the issues started after the recent Windows update (KB5007651 Version 1.0.2306.10002). I can suggest some general troubleshooting steps that might help:

1. Windows Update Troubleshooter: Windows has a built-in troubleshooter that can help fix issues with Windows Update. You can find it in Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters > Windows Update.
   
2. Roll Back the Update: If the issue started after a specific update, you might consider rolling back that update. Go to Settings > Windows Update > Update history > Uninstall updates. Select the update you want to remove and click the "Uninstall" button.
   
3. Reinstall Themes: You might be able to manually install the contrast themes. Visit the Microsoft Store and check if the contrast themes you're looking for are available for download.
   
4. Accessibility Settings: Windows 11 has a variety of accessibility settings that might help. Go to Settings > Accessibility and explore the options available there.
   

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further updates, thanks.
