    Windows suddenly changed colours. Don't know how to change them back.


    I have no idea what happened here but the text/folder colours in Windows randomly changed and I can't change all of them back.

    I had it on dark mode, and set that again. The accent colour had somehow changed to blue, so I made it grey. But when I open the file explorer, the address bar has white text on a white background and I don't see an option to fix it.

    When I click on an icon, it highlights like it used to. But if I then click somewhere else in the window, the entire icon turns bright white.

    This is only when I'm opening a folder. My desktop is fine, as are the colours in programs like Chrome, Word, Notepad, etc.

    Can anyone help me out?
