Windows 10 Dark Color Scheme - can't read the Uninstall or change a program area

I would like to start by saying I like the Windows 10 Dark color scheme. It's easy on the eyes. However I seem to have come across an area in which there isn't enough contrast between the dark gray background and the black color of the font. It's the Uninstall or Change a Program section of Control Panel.

Normally in other areas of windows, it displays fine with white text on a dark background.

Anyone have a fix for this apart from going back to the Light color scheme?

*Edit* Well, an odd thing happened. It fixed itself. The next time I launched the Uninstall Progs window, it came up with the correct colors.

    Thanks for the response! I ended up closing and opening the window and it came up fine. I then went ahead and reset my Nvidia control panel settings to defaults, thinking it could have been one of those settings. So far, no issues!

    Edit* Why can't I mark my own response as an answer? I kinda figured it out on my own.

    Hi Charles,

    Sorry for the inconvenience, In that case I would suggest to update your Display adapter. Follow these steps.

    • Press Windows key + X select "Device Manager".
    • Locate Display adapter and click on the arrow on the right side of Display adapter to show your graphics card driver.
    • Right click on the graphics card driver and choose "update driver".
    • Select "Search automatically for updated driver software and then follow the instruction on the screen.

    If the issue persist I would suggest to download Graphics card driver at the official website of the software manufacturer. May I know the model of your graphics card?

    Hope it will help.

    Thank you.
