    Windows 10 turned white and highlighting icons


    It seems like sort of accessibility mode. But I can't figure out how to turn it off.
    Windows 10 became white: white background, white taskbar, and when you hover over the icons in the taskbar it highlights them in blue.

    What is it?

    Thanks

    :)

    Making the taskbar Edge icon white

    Wow. Thank you so much for taking the time to make a video tutorial. A lot of steps to change the icon color but worth it to me.

    If I heard you correctly, this will reset every time Edge updates?

    Windows 10 White Icons

    After the last update my icons turned white and I can't get them back. The only icons that appear new icons like Edge, Microsoft Store, Microsoft Mail and Snip & Sketch. Chrome, Adobe Reader DC, File Explorer and so on, show a white page symbol. Even if
    I go to file properties and change the icon (even from another file) still same white page.

    I tried a few things, including:

    • going to %localappdata% and deleting IconCache.db, followed by a restart
    • ran SFC Scan
    • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
    No change. All users have the same problem.

    This is very annoying and should be very basic.

    Windows 10 turned white and highlighting icons

    Windows 10 tiles are blank / white with no thumbnail icons!

    Hi All

    Running Windows 10 operating system... I have the same issue but on my desktop and Taskbar at the bottom of the screen... White Box Icon... If I click the start it shows the correct icon but if I open it from there it shows white on the task bar...

    Tried this:

    Method 1: You may also try to enable or disable the thumbnail preview using group policy editor.

    Follow the steps to do so:

    • Press Windows and R key together to open the run box.
    • Type “gpedit.msc” in the box and hit Enter.
    • Now, navigate to User Configuration, Administrative Templates, and Start Menu and Taskbar in left pan of Group Policy Editor.
    • Locate “Turn off Taskbar Thumbnails” in right pane of Group policy editor and double click on it.
    • Select Disable and click on Apply and then on OK.
    • Check if you are able to view the images.
    But computer said no file found...
