    Windows 10 Accent Color Won't Change Automatically


    So I had this problem since the first time I upgraded to Windows 10.

    In Personalization> Colors setting there's an option, "Automatically pick an accent color from my background". At first, I thought that settings only change the color to the current background I used. Well, I use slideshow background that changes every 10 minutes. That setting does change the color to the current background(wallpaper) color. But I started to realize when I looked at my friend's PC. His Windows 10's accent color changes automatically every time the background changes. Mine doesn't.

    Is this a bug or something? Does anyone have a fix for this?

    :)

    ACCENT COLOR PROBLEM

    I have problem with accent color in Windows 10 (10586 build).

    When I set multiple images for background or slideshow, accent color on some of the pictures will not change. In an earlier version of Windows 10, the accent color was gray, now blue. To solve this problem,
    I need to reset "explorer" from the Task Manager or switch (off/on) "Automatically pick an accent color from my background" in the Settings. But on change the background image, the problem reappears. I noticed this problem on many computers.

    Problem with my computer flashing back to the top of the scrollbar when browsing files

    There are two settings that don't "play well together" --- Desktop Slideshow & Automatic Accent Color. When your Desktop changes, accent color changes, and all File Explorer windows get a "Refresh" message that causes the behavior you've observed. So check
    under:

    Settings - Personalization -> Color -> Automatically pick accent color from background

    and turn that off.

    Windows 10 Accent Color Won't Change Automatically

    Similar issue here, I'll probably create a new thread soon since this is old.

    When PC starts, the taskbar will not automatically change colors to match my custom wallpaper theme. I have to right click and open personalization settings, then it somehow remembers the "auto change colors to wallpaper" box is checked, then it changes colors like it is supposed to.

    I am not changing any settings after I right click and press Personalize. Simply opening the settings causes the OS to change colors. But it will not change them if I do nothing.

    This is annoying because if I want things looking legitimate, I have to take extra steps every time I start my system up.
