    Hello michaelholcomb1,

    I hope your day is off to a great start. I wanted to provide you with steps on how to change your default color scheme. Also, because your request is so general, if there is another color scheme you are referring to, and these steps do not help, please let me know.

    To change your color scheme:

    1. click on your start menu to and type settings
    2. when settings appears, press enter or click on it to open settings
    3. There should be a section called personalization, click on that to open it.
    4. With personalization open, select colors
    5. under choose a color, set the button to on.
    6. there should be another button further down the page that has show color on Start, taskbar, action center and tile bar AND Make start, taskbar, and action center transparent. Make sure that is set to off

    If you want to change your theme, you can do that at the same time as well.

    1. from the color page you are on, the left hand menu should have themes listed.
    2. click on themes to open that page
    3. under theme settings, you can to apply a theme. There you should see some windows default themes.
    4. click on the default theme you would like to apply.

    Again, if these steps do not help and clear up what you need, please let me know. Its my goal to make sure you have what you need to fix the problem you are having.

    Have a great weekend,

    Danielle

    Hi Michael,

    Open the Settings App

    Go to Ease of Access - High Contrast and set 'Choose a Theme' to None

    Then in Settings, go to Personalisation - Themes and choose 'Windows'

    That's It!

    Hi Michael. I'm Greg, an installation specialist and 8 year Windows MVP, here to help you.

    Easiest is to go to Settings > Personalization > Themes and choose one of the spectacular background Themes slideshows there and at the link to Get More Themes. These each have color and sound schemes. They will all be queued there to change.

    The default Theme is Windows 10 theme which should always be there but can get boring. It will reset all colors and sounds to default.

    I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
