  2. Dark Theme for File Explorer.

    I waited exactly 9 years since Windows 7 released for Dark Theme to be used on the File Explorer and i feel hyped about Dark Theme can be used when you update your windows to version 1803 few weeks ago when i read it on article. My friend already got
    their File Explorer themed black, and i already updated it to version 1803 as they say it will works. But why my file explorer theme is still white even though its on version 1803 and already changed the theme to dark? Thank you.

  3. File explorer dark theme not applying properly

    Since the implementation of Dark theme, I've been a bizarre white tool bar, it originates from the white theme but apparently it doesn't change when I apply the dark theme.
    You can see what I mean here.

    An interesting remark I have to make is that when launching File Explorer shortly after signing in from a reboot, the File Explorer dark theme is applied correctly.

    I have tried from uninstalling applications to testing in safe mode, and even that was futile, as the behaviour was the same.

    I'm at the end of my rope, your help would be appreciated.

    Note: The dark theme is also applied properly when launching file explorer through shell.

    Windows 10 1903 File Explorer Dark Theme Partially Working

    Hi Kai..

    The dark theme in File Explorer is a new feature, and so far it’s available only in the latest Windows 10 October update.

    Settings app opens, navigate to the< Update & Security >< Check for updates>

    Solution 2 – Switch to the default theme

    <Settings app > <Personalization section>Pick Themes from the menu on the left. In the right pane, select Windows from the list of available themes.After doing that, you’ll switch back to the default theme, and the dark theme should start working in File Explorer.

    Solution 3 – Restart File Explorer

    Open Task Manager. The quickest way to do that is to use Ctrl + Shift + Esc shortcut.

    Locate Windows Explorer on the list. Right-click it and choose Restart from the menu.
