Windows 10: Windows 11 taskbar search icon suddenly rainbow colored sometimes

All of a sudden, I'm seeing the taskbar search icon on one, and only one, of my Win 11 machines displayed in some rainbow hue. It changes back to and much more visible "normal" when I hover the cursor over it. Is this because of some cool new "experience" I'm not appreciating everything has to be an "experience" these days, sigh or something else? I don't run any preview or insider channel stuff on any of the machines.

Changing the taskbar color to white in Windows 10

Hi Michael,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated.

In Windows 10 there is no option for changing the color to white but you can change it to different colors. To change the color of the task bar I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

• In the search box, type settings.
• Then select personalization.
• Click on color option on the left side.
• You will find an option called “show color on start, taskbar and start icon”.
• You need to on the option and then you can change the color accordingly.

Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

Screen Shows Rainbow Colors

Recently when I have tried to load up Fortnite my screen has suddenly switched to weird rainbow colors and I have no clue why. When I turn game mode on and the game mode bar comes up the colors go away but when the bar goes away the rainbow colors come back.
Sometimes the screen returns to normal colors but I have no clue why it does. Even when I'm on my Fortnite home screen and it shows normal colors, when I switch back to my Windows home screen, it is shown in rainbow colors again. Has anyone else had this problem
and if so is there a solution?

Thanks
