    Accent color won't change from default blue.


    Hey, I just noticed that when I try to change the default blue accent color , nothing happens. The new color gets selected in the palette, and I noticed it changes the shadow color of windows, but everything else stays blue. When I go somewhere else in Personalisation and then return to Personalisation -> Color, the color is set to the default blue again. It's not updating the color for some reason.

    Any ideas what to do here pls ?

    Unable to Change Accent Color from the Default Blue

    Windows 10 Background Slideshow Accent Color Doesn't Work!

    This is a similar if not exactly the same issue. The RTM version of Windows 10 had no issues related to automatic color accents. It all started for me when I just now upgraded to the Fall Update version 1511. I have included specs of my laptop in the bottom
    along with graphics driver version, and others should follow suite.

    The accent color changes to default blue under two independent conditions:

    1) When the slideshow changes images, it reverts to the default blue accent color.

    2) When the Personalization settings is opened. (see next paragraph)

    I open the Personalization settings by right clicking on the desktop.

    Then the following happens in quick succession, without user input:

    1) The preview window shows the correct auto color where it should.

    2) The preview window cycles to show the next image.

    3) The accent color changes to blue in preview window.

    4) The accent color changes for the desktop.

    Steps taken to fix:

    1) Turn Off/On automatic accent color, resets correct color but end result is same.

    2) Turn Off automatic accent color, chose random color (green), turn On, correct auto color, end result is still same.

    I have nothing against blue but a shade of orange bests matches my background and its quite annoying.

    For trouble shooting, specs of laptop: (I think people should list specs)

    Processor: i5-3210M

    Graphics: Geforce GTX 660M

    Graphics Driver: 361.43 (released 12/21/15)
