    I updated my PC overnight and woke up to my start menu being greyI restarted, still grey. I Changed between light and dark themes then applied my color again, still greyDark is too dark and light is too light both are equally hard on my eyes which is the whole reason I used colors in the first place.

    The small mini start menu comes up the right color but my full screen start menu is stuck grey. Does anyone know how to fix this? Its supposed to be pink like my bar at the bottom. It was fine before the update.

    (Also Please excuse the mess im not the most organised)

    My windows version is 19042.804

    Colors looking grey in Windows 10

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that the colors look grey on your computer. I would suggest you to check the color filters in Settings and see if that helps. Kindly, refer the steps mentioned below:



    1. Press Windows key + U, to open
      Ease of Access Settings
      .
    2. Now, select Color filters from the left pane.
    3. Under Use color filters, toggle the switch to
      off for Turn on color filters.
    4. Clear the check box for Allow the shortcut key to toggle filter on or off.


    Let us know how it goes.



    Regards,
