Windows 10: Weird highlighting of system text

I just noticed that a few windows text and other areas are highlighted in a fuchsia color. This started for me about a week ago and I'm not sure how to change it. As far as I can tell, this is only happening in windows system text and havent noticed it in applications or programs.

Weird highlighting of text on start menu after upgrading to 21H1

Any idea why this is happening? Have tried rebooting.





This is what it normally looks like:

 

Text highlight not sticking - Post Anniversary Update Issue


Immediately following the Anniversary Update, I have been experiencing issues with text highlighting.

Left click text highlighting rarely 'sticks', or stays highlighted after releasing the left mouse button.

Right click text highlighting doesn't highlight text at all.

I have tried using another mouse (different manufacturer) - same issue.

Does anyone have any suggestions, or has anyone experienced this issue?

Thanks

P.s. I've tried some basic troubleshooting such as searching for updated drivers, restarting system, using another mouse (as mentioned)

 

No more "Search" on highlighted text?

Hello,

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

I’m sorry for the inconvenience caused. There is no option to search on the highlighted text in Microsoft Edge. I would suggest you to use Internet Explorer so that you can use the search option on the highlighted text.

Hope it helps. Feel free to contact us for any further issue on Windows Operating System. We will be happy to help you.
