Windows 10: Windows 10 stuck on High Contrast #1 Theme

Windows 10 version 1803 always boots up with the High Contrast #1 Theme set? *Shock
note 1:Themes were working fine up to the version 1709 update? *chuckle
note 2: I was forced to re-install after a crashed disk and again themes worked fine up until version 1709. This is a clean re-install of Windows 10 and only Windows 10. *Eek
I can of course manually reset themes after ever reboot, but that only works until the next reboot? *cry
I was wondering if its possible to write a script that will automate re-setting the Windows 10 theme so I do not have to do it every time I reboot.

I can not fix Windows 10, but maybe I can implement another work around? Any ideas?

:)
