Autoruns 14.11 dark mode has black text instead of white/gray text on Windows 11

Question

The screenshot below shows black text while Autoruns 14.11 is in dark mode on Windows 11. Ideally, the text should be white or gray while in dark mode. Can someone please look into this issue and provide a resolution?

Answer 1

I found the source of the problem: the Windhawk mod "Fix Darkmode ListViews".

I followed these steps for a clean boot. Once Windows started. I opened AutoRuns and the dark mode looked correct (light text, dark background). I remembered that Windhawk has occasionally caused issues for me, so I started WindHawk and then re-opened AutoRuns. As I expected, the problem returned. I disabled "Fix Darkmode ListViews" and tried again. The problem was gone. I have since added Autoruns64.exe and Autoruns.exe to Windhawk's list of excluded processes and disabled that mod.
