Windows 10: Windows color issue

I have a very strange problem that just cropped up. My old backup computer running Windows 10 started showing strange background colors. For example, when I open a new Word document, the page is light blue. In file explorer, the background is blue. If I open a photo, the colors look fine. My desktop background picture looks fine. Is there some setting I inadvertently tweaked that is causing this. I have no idea where to look.

Windows Color Management Issue

Hi billin30,

With the issue you're having with your display color, I suggest that you calibrate. There may have been settings that is causing the issue and resetting them may solve this. Follow these steps:

1. Press Windows key on your keyboard, type Calibrate display color.
2. Follow the on screen instructions.

If the issue will not somehow improve, try to check with your monitor's color settings just to be sure.

Also, I'd like to clarify what monitor is having the issue with its display going to the 'other monitor'? I'd also like to ask for help in isolating the issue. Try to use the monitors one-by-one or have them pair up with one another. Like have BenQ paired
with Asus then have Alienware paired with Asus etc.

Update me if there were improvements.
