    One "tweak" too far.


    I’ve been tweaking a new Windows 10 install ad apparently went “one tweak too far”! I can no longer see “Appearance” in the right-click desktop fly-out menu - only “Display Settings” and “Personalize”.

    I may have turned on high contrast settings, since the background of both “Display” and “Personalize” is black, where it would normally be white. I also find that some of the applications settings screens are not displaying the check-box graphics or the on-off radio circles. The correct text is visible, but not the squares or circles.

    I’d appreciate ANY help anyone might be inclined to offer.

    Thanks.



    :)

    One "tweak" too far.

    You need to tell us what you did? Backtrack what you did and undo it?

    If I could remember that, I'd have reversed it instead of asking for help. Sorry about being vague,but i really don't know which tweak cause the problem, nor do I recall what tweaks I did.

    If you use the Reset Option you will lose all your installed programs. A much better method if you decide to go this route, is to do a Repair Install, this will repair all your Windows files, without removing your installed programs or personal files.

    Hello JLOB, *Smile

    If you like, you could do a system restore using a restore point dated before the "one tweak too far" happened to undo it.
