    Unable to change colors on the start, taskbar and action center


    I was just wondering if the problem of not being able to select color changes in the "start, taskbar and action center" section of personalization is ever going to be fixed. This problem was introduced in Feature update, Windows 10, Version 1903. Thanks

    :)

    I cannot select start, taskbar, & action center in color settings.


    Hello dogpark, *Smile

    It looks like if you select "Light" for "Choose your default Windows mode", you are unable to check/uncheck "Start, taskbar, and action center".

    Hi Brink,

    That is correct.

    Yesterday after the upgrade to 1903 I changed wallpaper themes & my taskbar immediately went white.

    I downloaded your bat file & gave that a try last night.
    If the value in HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Themes \ Personalize ColorPrevalence is 0, then "Start, taskbar, and action center" is grayed out & I cannot change the taskbar color. It is white.

    If I change ColorPrevalence to 1, then a check mark is automatically placed in "Start, taskbar, and action center" & the taskbar is no longer white. I can change taskbar colors, however "Start, taskbar, and action center" is still grayed out & I cannot uncheck it.

    In Dark mode I have full control as I should. "Start, taskbar, and action center" is not grayed out. I can check / uncheck it.

    Using your tutorial for local account I created one & the taskbar colors work just as they should. "Start, taskbar, and action center" is not grayed out. Both Light & Dark mode.

    This happened once before after an upgrade, I couldn't figure it out & eventually re-installed Windows.
    Thought I'd ask beforehand this time.

    *Smile

    p.s. I'm not using high contrast, aero (transparency, etc). A Dell D630, trying to keep resources low.
