I have solution to when you screen turns Black and White in Windows 10

I am a programmer and frequently use ctrl-c to quit an application. There is a Windows 10 shortcut (ctrl-WindowsKey-c) that changes your screen to black and white!! I inadvertently pressed CRTL (and the Windows Key at the same time because they are close together) and c and my screen was stuck in back and white mode and I could not find a solution online, so hopefully this helps someone.

The solution:

press ctrl-WindowsKey-c a few times until the color toggles back to normal mode.

    Great tip. Thank you so much.

    So close to ctl-c (copy) which I use all the time (and obviously mis-keyed this time).  You'd have to wonder why that short cut is there.
