Remove Shadow Under Icon Text

Hi Sharon,

Sorry to hear that. Believe me, I really want to help you with this, I'm also trying to do the same thing on my device and I've noticed that it's actually a system designed. But the good thing is, there's a workaround which is to set your desktop background as solid color.

To do that, please click Start menu and type Background and hit enter

Next to the Personalize your background choose "Solid Color" and choose the color that you preferred.

Kindly refresh the explorer.exe again

On Windows 11:

Right click on start menu and choose Task Manager

Click Details Tab and end the task of explorer.exe

Then click Run New Task and type explorer.exe and hit enter

On Windows 10

Right click on start menu and choose Task Manager

Click Details Tab and end the task of explorer.exe

Hit File then click Run new Task and type explorer.exe and press enter

The shadow should be removed after that.

In case you would like to remove the shadow on text even not using Solid Color. I will suggest you to raise a feedback to Microsoft developer so they could check on this, I'm sure they'll be happy to hear your inputs. Here's how to send a feedback to Microsoft.
