  1. May2019 Update changed colors on desktop-how change back?


    I upgraded to vers 1903 - and it changed my desktop default Windows photo (i.e. with the shadow of windows on left) to a light blue instead of a dark blue. It also changed other colors in other features. How do I get the original default back? Thank you.

    :)

    The answer given below did not solve my problem. I followed the steps given and when I returned to my work screen it was still black, there does not seem anyway to save your changes and color selection.
