  3. How to change the color for the Cortana settings menu?

    Hi Rohit,

    As per your description, I understand that you would like to change the color of Cortana settings page.

    I would like to inform you that it is not possible to change the color of Cortana settings page. However you may change the color of the Taskbar and the Start menu.

    Step 1:
    Right-click on desktop and then click Personalize.

    Step 2: In the left-pane, click
    Colors to see various settings on the right.

    Step 3: On the right-side, turn on the option labelled
    Show color on Start, taskbar, and action center. Make sure that the first option labelled
    Automatically pick an accent color from my background is turned
    off
    .

    I also suggest you to post your valuable suggestions in Windows feedback app. So, that developers will try to implement it in future Windows 10 updates to enhance user experience.

    Hope the information helps. Please do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist you.
