    Reset Powershell Colors


    Some time ago, I worked on changing my Powershell Windows 10 colors to a dark theme.


    I've forgotten what I did to change them but I found an unfortunate background==font color in the theme I'm using.


    I tried to use the ColorTool to reset the color to something else but that doesn't seem to be working.


    I don't have anything set in my PS profile a technique I used on different PC's. I'm thinking I might have set / changed some values in the registry?


    Is there any way restore the original Powershell colors or to uninstall/reinstall Powershell to restore it's original state?


    Here's an example of my powershell color scheme and the "black-on-black" scheme issue. It's also an issue when using CLI parameters.

    PowerShell instead of Commandline in Creators Update

    Interestingly enough my personal laptop just got the update...and still has Command Prompt listed, not PowerShell...

    Edit: Not that it matters...I use both regularly. *Toast :toast:

    Cortana's Font Color (Blue) is impossible to read when she responds to me

    Hello,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    I understand that you are trying to change the font color for Cortana on your PC, I suggest you to follow the step mentioned below:

    Steps:

    1. Type ‘Color settings’ in the Windows search bar.
    2. Tap on the ‘Color’ option.
    3. Uncheck ‘Automatically pick an accent color from my background’.
    4. You can select the preferred color, under
      Windows colors      .
    5. You can click on Cortana and you will be able to notice the color that was selected.

    Hope it helps.
