I have no color on my computer screen

Question

There is no color appearing on my computer screen

Answer 1

Open the Settings App.

Go to Accessibility - Colour Filters and disable any color filter that may be enabled.

Go to Accessibility - Contrast Themes and disable any Contrast Theme that may be enabled.

Go to Personalization - Themes.

In there, set the theme to the Default Windows Theme.

Restart (not shut down) your PC to apply the changes.

If that does not resolve the problem, please provide a screenshot showing the problem on your screen.

Answer 2

Follow these steps to restore color on a Windows 11 screen that appears black-and-white or grayscale:

1. Check Color Filters
   1. Open Settings: press Windows logo key + I.
   2. Go to Accessibility > Color filters.
   3. Make sure the Color filters switch is turned Off.
   4. If it is On and a filter is selected (for example, Grayscale), turn the switch Off to restore normal color.
2. Check High Contrast / Contrast Themes
   1. In Settings, go to Accessibility.
   2. Look for Contrast themes and set it to None.
3. If the screen is still grayscale
   1. Open Device Manager (right-click Start > Device Manager).
   2. Expand Display adapters.
   3. Right-click the graphics adapter and choose Uninstall device.
   4. Restart the PC so Windows reinstalls the display driver automatically.

If color returns after these steps, the issue was likely a color filter or a display driver problem.
