Windows 10: Task bar and File explorer colors messed up after last update

I did the Windows 10 Version 2004 update this morning and it changed ALL of my personalized settings. Everything was sort of gray. I was able to get the photo back as my wallpaper. I had to redo my browser FireFox menu bar settings - they were all changed.


But now I can't get the taskbar/task menu to be dark like it was before without having every open File Explorer window also turn black. I've tried everything in the help search but nothing changes only one and not the other. If I choose light for my color, assigning the accent color to the taskbar is grayed out. If I choose dark, everything is black as I mentioned. With a light gray taskbar, I can't see the white icons across the bottom either!


I just want to go back to a darker taskbar and a white background on the File Explorer windows, like they were before this update I never set them, they were just always that way. Any ideas how I can do that would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks.

Network mess after last creator update

With the last update Microsoft created areal network mess.
Before the update I could see and access all shared folders on the connected PC's in the LAN .
Now I don't see them most of the time or disappear after a while, but the most strange thing is that when I the other
PC's shared folders listed under "Network" are visible and accessible, the listed shares from folders on the PC that I am
working on are NOT accessible at all.

After clicking the share, Explorer shows (no respons) in the title bar, meanwhile the cursor shows being busy and the after more than 40 seconds an Network error message shows. No acces to \\PCNAME\Music files
Error code: 0x80070035
Cannot find network path

Well, the creator update is a true creator, regarding the network a real mess *Mad

Renewed some of the shares, with access for everybody, RW and full management.
Now when clicking the listed shares under Network, the contents got listed, but....
after clicking one of the not renewed shares, long waiting until the error message and
then clicking one of the renewed that worked before, same problem occurs, message no access.

For now I give up, waiting until MS solves this mess

 

Task Bar Color Change No Longer Available Since Update in Jan 2020

Since my last update, Jan 2020, my task bar has grayed and I'm not allowed to change the color because the box to click to allow to change the task bar color is not available anymore. It is grayed out, not highlighted, not
allowed to choose. There is no way for me to change this task bar now and I have no idea who to contact about this last update messing up my task bar color. Now, no matter what theme I choose, that damn task bar just makes it ugly.

 

Windows 10 File Explorer not responsive on Task Bar.

After upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10, the File Explorer has become unresponsive on the Task Bar. After clicking the File Explorer on the Task Bar the Desktop refreshes but I never get the list of files. The only way I can access my files is to right
click on the Windows icon at the lower left of the screen, then select File Explorer.

I've tried unpinning the File Explorer from the Task Bar and then re-adding it. This did not solve the problem.

One additional piece of information, I have four accounts on this PC. Two of the accounts have the problem I described above. The other two accounts work correctly.

Thanks for your help.
