Windows 10: Please help with black background issues.

Yesterday I installed an update to windows 11. After the update, some things started to appear in black and all of my Microsoft office products like word, outlook, Excel and OneNote, the pages and typing backgrounds are black. This is not limited to Microsoft office products. As from you can see from the screenshots, when I go to save files or access drop down boxes, the backgrounds are black as well. Please do not tell me to turn off dark mode or black theme. This solution is 100% of the solutions that are on the web and they do not work. I do not have, nor have I ever had dark mode of black
