After updating my edge browser in my windows 10 laptop, its coloring got all messed up. The upper off white bar with the back arrow or forward arrow is now pure white, can't see the arrows at all, and the area with extra settings part is also pure white and has no visible icons so I just click in faith to the general area and hope that it opens correctly. The search bar is black, so are the letters as a result I don't even know if I'm typing something incorrectly because I can't see anything. What should I do?

    Hello DenizYosunu

    First I would check if in Edge you have any themes or customization by mistake:

    In the URL input: edge://flags , and check if any accent color enabled on "#edge-color-theme-picker"
    From: Settings > Appearance try to change the color theme to see it that changes the "wrong colors" you see

    Then try reset Edge components:
    Navigate to the folder: C:\Users\%yourusername%\AppData\Local\Packages\ and delete the folder: Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe
    then run the next script to reset Edge (from elevated command Powershell session ):
    Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml" -Verbose}
