MS Access Colors making database almost impossible to read

SO today I start my Audio database in MS Access and the colors are so messed up it is all but impossible to read anything in the database. So sick of wasting my time since installing Windows 11. It has made using my PC a nightmare for months on end now. I had set the theme to every single possible combination, but the readability does not change. I will attach a screen shot so you can see what I am referring to. Does anyone know how to fix this? This pic is with the Background set to No background and the Theme set to Use system setting, but they all show the database info the exact same way.

    Well, not sure this would help. But, a second and third reboot got the access database to display as it did before. Windows 11 is a nightmare. OneDrive is a nightmare. Both of these are the worst pieces of software MS has ever released. I will not hold my breath that it is fixed permanently because I am sure in time I will be fighting with some other stupid thing that this OS has done to me. Thanks for the feedback, but truly can't say what the problem was (or will be).

    In any MS Component > File > Options review General > Theme & Background

    In Win 11 Settings > Personalisation review background & Colors etc
