    PC Darkmode and Accent Color Settings Reverting


    Hi, lately I've been experiencing changes I did not make to my color customization settings. I have darkmode selected and my preferred accent color, but about once every one or two weeks I turn onto my PC to find that my PC has reverted to light mode and the default accent color. Is there any way to stop this from happening? I don't understand why these settings would suddenly change.

    :)

    The accent color (primarily the red shades) are missing in window 10 and do not know why. Any suggestion how to get the original window 10 accent colors back? Thank you.

    I have all the colors listed above. The shade of red is missing from above accent colors and is also missing from mine. I used to have the shade of red and like to get it back. I like to know how to update the driver of accent color in window 10.

    Windows 10 Background Slideshow Accent Color Doesn't Work!

    This is a similar if not exactly the same issue. The RTM version of Windows 10 had no issues related to automatic color accents. It all started for me when I just now upgraded to the Fall Update version 1511. I have included specs of my laptop in the bottom
    along with graphics driver version, and others should follow suite.

    The accent color changes to default blue under two independent conditions:

    1) When the slideshow changes images, it reverts to the default blue accent color.

    2) When the Personalization settings is opened. (see next paragraph)

    I open the Personalization settings by right clicking on the desktop.

    Then the following happens in quick succession, without user input:

    1) The preview window shows the correct auto color where it should.

    2) The preview window cycles to show the next image.

    3) The accent color changes to blue in preview window.

    4) The accent color changes for the desktop.

    Steps taken to fix:

    1) Turn Off/On automatic accent color, resets correct color but end result is same.

    2) Turn Off automatic accent color, chose random color (green), turn On, correct auto color, end result is still same.

    I have nothing against blue but a shade of orange bests matches my background and its quite annoying.

    For trouble shooting, specs of laptop: (I think people should list specs)

    Processor: i5-3210M

    Graphics: Geforce GTX 660M

    Graphics Driver: 361.43 (released 12/21/15)
