Windows 10: Windows Taskbar Color After Windows 10 1903 Update

I noticed that my task bar color went from nice black to a grayish color. I went in an turned off Transparency effects (it has always been on in previous Win10 versions), and that took it back towards black by about 50%, but still nothing like it was. Anyone else have the same issue?

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
