Even if I turn off high contrast in Windows 10, it stays black and white and doesn't go back to normal.

This time, we will introduce a solution for when you set Windows 10 high contrast to "On" and then set it back to "Off" and it does not revert to its original state.

When you turn high contrast on, the colors will look like this:

Normally, setting it to "Off" should restore the original color, but in some environments it may not return to its original color.

What to do if turning off high contrast doesn't work

In some cases, the screen may turn black and white even though you don't remember setting it, so we'll start by explaining how to open the high contrast settings screen.

1. Right-click on an empty area of ​​the desktop > Personalize.

2. Once the settings screen opens, scroll down on the right side and click on "High Contrast Settings" under Related Settings to open it.

3. The high contrast settings screen will appear, so set it to "Off".

The "Please wait" screen will be displayed for a while (approximately 10 seconds, this may vary depending on the environment).

4. If there is a back button "←" in the upper left corner, click it. If there is not, click the "Home" button.

If you click the Home button, click Personalization.

5. Click on "Theme" on the left side, then scroll down on the right side to find "Change Theme." Click on any theme different from the one you have used so far to change it.

*When you click, there will be no response for a while until the theme is changed, so please wait.

6. When the theme is changed, the color tone will change to the color tone of the selected theme, so click the theme you had previously set again to return to the original color tone.

If changing the theme doesn't fix it

If the screen remains black and white and does not return to normal, it is possible that you have changed the "color filter," so please check.

Fourth screenGo back and click "Color Filters" on the left.

If "Turn on color filters" on the right is set to "On," change it to "Off."

This should usually fix the issue, but if it doesn't, try updating your system with Windows Update orRepair system filesTry running it and then rebooting once.
