  1. Some programs have black background


    About a month ago, after i had to change a failing HDD, and reinstalled windows, i started having this problem.https://imgur.com/a/sarOXN1

    In some programs (mostly windows explorer and instalation wizards) the whole background is black, and in some cases so is the text. today i found out that this also affects wordpad, as shown in the screenshots above.

    I have tried factory resetting windows, even doing a clean install, but it didn't seem to help. Is there any solution to this? or is it a problem with my ssd?

    Thanks in advance everyone

    Desktop background and taskbar going black could be due to software conflicts.

    Some Folder Icons have a Black Background


    I think since the latest Windows 10 update some of my icons have a black background to them, sometimes they don't *update*.

    What could be causing this? I've tried deleting the thumbnail cache using CCleaner and Disk Cleaner but that didn't seem to help.

    Any advice much appreciated!

    Screensavers have black background.

    Hi Billy,



    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



    Yes, the black background does exist. However, if you feel like there is some issue with the screensaver, I suggest you to create a new user account
    to eliminate any issues with user account if there are any and check. Follow the steps:
