Windows 10: "Save Dialog Address Bar Visibility Issue in Dark Mode – Windows 11 + After Effects 2025"

Hello,I'm using Windows 11 with the built-in Dark Mode enabled — no third-party themes or modifications are applied.However, when I'm working in Adobe After Effects 2025 and try to save a file, the address bar in the save dialog appears completely white, as shown in the attached screenshot. This makes it extremely difficult to see the file path or choose a save location while using Dark Mode.Is there any fix or planned update to resolve this issue?Thank you in advance for your assistance.Best regards,

:)

 

Save / Open Dialog causes program to crash

I have a pretty serious issue with my system. With just about any program I have, when I click "Open..." or "Save As..." to open the save/open dialog box, if I do anything to navigate to another folder (e.g. change the address in the address bar, click a
subfolder in the current window, or click the "1 folder up" button), the dialog crashes, and then the program itself subsequently crashes. This is a serious issue because I can no longer save any work in any program.

A couple of things I've already tried:

• Restarting the computer
• Rebuild file index
• Run programs in compatibility mode
• sfc /scannow

 

No Icons visible in task bar, Win 10

Hi Richard,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

As you are facing issues with icons in the Task bar after November update, do let us know the following:

• Is this issue confined only with icons in the Task bar?
• What happens when you try to click on those icons?
• What exactly do you mean by: "they are there but not visible"?

Method 1: If you are referring to showing up of different icons in Task in System tray, I suggest you to try the below and check if it helps.

• Press Windows key from the Keyboard, type
  Turn system icons On or Off and select it.
• Try to turn on the icons that are visible.

Method 2:

Step 1: If not, I suggest you to place the computer in safe mode and check if the icons are visible to access.

Refer: Start your PC in safe mode in Windows 10


If the issue still persists,

Step 2: This issue might have occurred due to corrupted or missing system files after the update. I suggest you to place the computer in normal mode and try to perform SFC scan.

Steps: Place the computer in normal mode.

• Press Windows + R keys to open
  Run command.
• Type msconfig and press
  Enter.
• In the System Configuration
  window, click on General tab.
• Select Start-up selection as Normal startup, click on Apply and Ok.
• Follow onscreen instructions.

Perform SFC scan, System File Checkeris a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

Follow the below steps:

• Right click on the Start button, click on
  Command Prompt (Admin).
• Type “sfc /scannow” without the quotes and hit
  Enter.
• After the scan, restart the computer and check for the issue.

You can probably delete the registry key that saves window position.

I'll look into this when back from vacations: ensure window is always visible on screen.

Will also look into the suggestion above, make the URL Dialog show in task bar
