    October Update - unwanted dark theme (Windows Explorer)


    I recieved the October Update yesterday. I noticed that Windows Explorer has a dark theme after restarting. But the dark theme is ugly and makes me angry, because it's all very unclear.

    I tried to search in Explorer's settings but there is not an option for change it back to light theme.

    I use a dark theme as default. It is very good for Settings section, Microsoft Photos or search bar (which doesn't have a white color).
    But I chose a light theme in Groove music.

    And the same I want to do in Windows Explorer. The main theme I want to have dark and Windows Explorer theme light.

    Is there an option I've overlooked? If not, can the theme of the Explorer be changed in registry? Or is there another possibility?

    If this does not change, then I will have to uninstall the October Update.

    Thank you for any advice!

    (PS. I like the color theme in Windows (color change based on the background). But colors in the table header are darker after update. I also do not like it. I'll be glad if there's also a way to make the colors in the headline of the tables lighter.)
