Windows 10: Windows 11 has issues with explorer handling dark mode

Hello! My copy of windows 11 has an issue when it comes to dark mode. After updating windows 11 to 23h2, it displays text in black, while also being in dark modeI had to resort to using that one joke file manager app that microsoft ported from windows 3.11, because i cant get anything done when i cant read the text.I tried changing themes, Using SFC /scannow, using high contrast, turning off and on my pc, and downgrading it back to 22h2, but to no avail. Things to note1. Since i prefer the windows 10 explorer and start menu to the windows 11 ones, i used ExplorerTweaker, Which has not given

Dark mode for task manager not working on windows 11

I have dark mode enabled for my windows 11 pc. There are no updates available. Every application is in dark theme and task manager still runs in light theme. I would like my task manager to be in dark mode too. How can I do this? I've already tried every suggestion on this website and online form I've seen. They all say just set the windows theme to dark and it's automatic.

1. Which build version of Windows are you currently using?

I would suggest you to take a screen shot of the File Explorer with the highlighted file and the information about the file in 'Dark Mode’.
To do that, refer the article posted by
