Windows and taskbar are now beige.

[Westie]

My windows and task bar have suddenly assumed a beige instead of the normal grey colour. I have restored the default colour enhancement setting in graphics properties but nothing has changed. I have recently installed a new monitor, and it was all working normally for weeks. I have rebooted, switched off and on, removed and replaced the cable. Any other suggestions?

Looks normal to me? So a possible monitor problem.

But, try Settings - Personalisation. - Colours.
Scroll down, and turn off (or choose another colour) 2Show colour om Start.....etc.

Thanks davehc, but I did try that option, and many others. Strangely enough it returned to normal without any explanation yesterday, but today it has reverted to beige again. I have had family look at it just to prove I'm not crazy, and the difference is obvious to them.

Could you have a look at this. It is a copy of you snip, as I see it. Tell me if it is beige there.

 

[Westie]

No. The snip displays as the normal grey colour but I rebooted earlier and...viola, everything was as per normal. If things go 'beige' again I'll plug in another monitor. At least that may eliminate one possibility.

 

[davehc]

Ok. We'll wait and see - fingers crossed!

That has happened on my system a couple of times. I tend to think it is related to an update but the problem always resolves itself fairly quickly.

Looks more like what we used to call alabaster - sort of a beigy gray.
