    Windows 10 accent colour doesn't change automatically

    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.

    (Edit: Disabling "Automatically pick an accent color from my background" does sort of fix the issue.)

    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)

  3. Automatic Accent colors.

    Accent color does not change automatically with wallpaper transition even when option "Automatically pick an accent color from my background" is set to do so. But opening personalization settings act as reminding OS
    to change color even when I does not change any setting. It must change automatically.

    How to solve this problem?

    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?
