Windows 10: Tried enabling 'High contrast mode' in 'Settings' but then my screen went completely black.

I was a bit nervous of posting this, but I saw someone had posted a similar question on the website 'Reddit' so I'm gonna try and ask a question here.________________________________________________________________Recently I've had an injury can't go into depth because it is a REALLY long story. and I have been having eyesight issues. In Windows 10 I tried to enable high contrast so then it's easier to see text and programs, and whatnot. I enabled it in settings and and afterwards my screen has turned completely black. I thought maybe I have gotten a virus and I panicked a bit and shut down
