How To Change Back to Windows 7 Defualt Color Scheme?

Question

This how:

I was having the same problem. There is no defualt botton to change the W7 colors back to defualt color settings, but I found a trick (by the grace of God) by accident. FOR DEFUALT SETTINGS:

1.) Leave open WordPad. Type something in it. (Even leave one IE window open)

2.) Go to Restart Computer and Select it

3.) Windows will not shut down but warn you you have WordPad or IE opened.

4.) Don't press Force Shut Down

5.) Select Cancel

6.) Now go back into Personalization >> Windows Color and Appearance

7.) Click Advance Appearance Settings

As odd as it is, by canceling Force Shutdown, you will see that it goes back to Defualt Colors. "Apply" is greyed out, so change the black to any color and back to black. BOOM!!!!!!!! "Apply" will now beable to click to save the Defualt Color Scheme.

Please no "Thanks" to me but thank God for me, please? I was very frustrated I could not undo my colors I chose that I love, but my colors messed up Windows by not being able to see words due to color conflict, contrast, and confusion. Windows defult colors are set up for a purpose, so we can read and see everything on our computers or on the web.

I hope this helped. God bless!

When I right-click the desktop from Window Color and Appearance, nothing happens.  Therefore, I am unable to choose Personalize.  Please advise...  Thank you...

I was trying to make my display darker and changed colors - this didn't work as I was making the wrong colors. Now I cannot see some of the items on my Desktop. 

How do I change back to original Windows 10 setting? I cannot find Aero section on the list???
