Windows 10 - Oct 2018 Update: Dark mode has filenames also in dark

[rvipinkumar]

Hello,

I had updated Windows with the Oct-2018 updates, as I was so excited for the Dark mode of windows coming up.
But all my excitement went down the drain, when some of the folders (and incidentally, folders which are important to me) has all the filenames and folders also in a dark mode, which render it unreadable at all.
I reverted back to the Light mode and enabled dark mode again, but still the problem occurred.
Did anyone else seen this problem? Is there any remedy for this?

So black text on a black background?

try seeing if this helps
right click start button
choose powershell (admin)
type SFC /scannow and press enter
once its completed, copy/paste this command into same window:
Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth and press enter
SFC fixes system files, second command cleans image files, re run SFC if it failed to fix all files and restart PC


Advice I can find for that problem is use white theme until Microsoft patches the problem. I have no idea when that might happen, they need to fix task manager as well as latest update broke it too.

@Colif: Nope it didn't made any difference even after running the two commands you mentioned. 🙁
Seems like I have to report this in the Microsoft Feedback hub.
Bad Microsoft!!!
