  1. Windows file explorer background color changed after update


    After receiving the update for windows 10, my folder windows colors changed to black and text to white. A feature many have wanted by all the forum posts I have read spanning years but I do not, I wish the default colors. No file explorer software has been installed. My theme which is blue based shows, but I've never seen this before. I thought maybe my AMD Radeon driver settings might have somehow been the cause but I uninstalled and it changed nothing. Any help or idea's would be appreciated. A screen shot might be best to avoid confusion about themes, high contrast, ect.
