Windows 10: SOLVED: There are white outlines/highlighting over almost all text

there is strange highlighting over almost all text and many search boxes. they mask text and are really annoying. I just did a reinstall of windows 10 and the newest update also. I want to get rid of these boxes.

problem on a few menus - white text on white background

G'day all.

I have two instances of having white text on white backgrounds. I use start10 by Stardock, and on its menus, items currently highlighted are showing white text on a white background. Other (non-highlighted) items display correctly.

I also noticed this same thing when Cortana displays something like my shopping list. If i ask her to display my shopping list, she does, and i can see the checkboxes, but the actual text of the list is not visible.

I sense this has something to do with system level font/color settings, but I can't find where this is controlled in Win10.

 

Find a string of highlighted text with a nonhighlighted white space interrupting somewhere inside the otherwise highlighted string

I would like to find (in Microsoft Word 10) a string that consists of some (highlighted text), a (non-highlighted white space), followed by some (highlighted text). Any ideas?

 

Weird text outlining- Windows 10

Hi,

Before we proceed, I need more information to help you better.

• 
  What is the exact issue that you’re facing with Windows 10?
  
• 
  What exactly do you mean by weird text outlining?
  
• 
  Are you facing any issue with applications?
  

In the screenshot, I am unable to see any weird outlining. But if you are seeing any issue with the display then I suggest you to try installing all the pending Windows Updates and check for the issue. If the issue still persists then try changing
the resolution and check.

Thanks and regards.
