    Why does the Windows 10 start menu appear to be all gray and colorless now?


    Hi, I have just installed the most recent Windows 10 feature update and realized that my startmenu is now all gray, and it no longer shows the selected personalized color for some shortcuts, which is the default blue for me. Was this done intentionally in the new update? Is there any way to return it to normal?

    My start menu after updating:

    How do I get a screenshot of start menu?

    1. Run snipping tool ( If screen appears grayed out, press ESC, if not continue step 2.)
    2. Click to open the start menu
    3. Hold CTRL and press print Screen. Screen will appear grayed out, ready to capture.

    NOTE: This will work with all popup menus ie. Windows Menu, Context menu etc...

    Thanks for this topgundcp as I have used the snipping tool a lot but could never figure how to capture pop up menus.
