    Selection Box on windows being only a white border


    So ever since i got windows, my selection box has been a white dotted outline. I looked around and the other solutions haven't helped. BUT! i found on that does for those that have the same problem.


    Go to the windows search bar

    Type "Advanced"

    Click on "View advanced system settings"

    Click on the performance settings button

    Choose the Visual Effects tab, unless already shown.

    Untick and then re-tick the "Show translucent selection rectangle" box.

    And without a restart your color should be back.


    If you want to change the color and dont know how, here is how:

    Open your run command or Win + R

    Type in "regedit"

    HKEY current user ->

    Control Panel ->

    Colors ->

    Hilight and or HotTrackingColor

    :)

    White Borders To Album Artwork Windows 10

    Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this procedure but it has had no effect at all so the problem persists.

    Since asking the original question I have downloaded some albums from amazon and added these to the Music folder and the white border has appeared on those albums as well so it would appear it is only artwork added by WMP which is not affected.
