Windows 10: Menu and mouse hover text color bug

Greetings,


I've installed a clean version of Windows 10 today, and I have a strange color bug I have never seen before. The text in the menus are covered by colors, I can't see the text. When I hover the mouse, the mouse pop up text is also covered. I attach two screenshots of what it looks like. Anyone know how to fix it?

Color Changes to mouse hover

Hi Dick

Tried the icon cache reset, it did reset, but so far I didn't detect any change.

I looked at your step recording. What's interesting is that your taskbar does show a loudspeaker icon, apparently even when you're not hovering over it. Then when you click on it you get the vertical slider picture. I get that but by clicking on an empty box. For me, the same is true for the other missing icon - "new notifications"

In your other picture of the mouse over the power icon, I get that just the same, but when I move the mouse down to the first option - Sleep - it is replaced by a black rectangle.

I'll live with these for the time being.

I will try MCBUILDER.exe and report the results later.

.....then I'd have to consider the Spitfires.......

Many thanks
Don

Don, I've included a "Step Recording" for you to view. It shows the results of hover and click on your issues. Open in your browser.

Even though the step text says "click", it's obvious where I was hovering.

It did not pick up the hover text on the 3 power options, but they did display and were not blacked out. Nothing was blacked out on any of these steps. Probably the Step Recorder doesn't pick up tool tip messages on sub-menus. All appeared normal on my display.

What are the 2 tray icons still missing?

Please try the icon cache reset, it can cure a lot of goofy tray issues.

Also, you may want to try running MCBUILDER.exe from an Admin cmd line, followed by a restart. It rebuilds the Microsoft Resource cache.

(I smell a dogfight coming!)

Cheers! *Cool Dick...

 

Color Changes to mouse hover


I am running Win 10 Tech Evaluation and Win 7 in dual boot. That's fine.
But when it comes to personalizing win 10, the background colour of the hovering mouse is black,
so when it's hovered over black text, the text is obliterated.
How can I change the hovering mouse background colour?

Also, when in desktop, the RH toolbar's "speakers / headphone" and "new notification" icons do not show until the mouse is hovered.

And finally, how do I put the taskbar's "hidden Icons" visible on the taskbar.

Any help would much appreciated.
