    I have a similar problem but I want a black screen with off-white fonts. (Windows 10 Pro-64 bit-HP Tower)

    • Problem: When I make this setting it changes other pages/fonts also.

    • Main problem, when I go to Windows Defender I get a page that is totally white with ONLY blue links showing.

    • In many other pages, Word, Excel, etc. the colors change especially the links which become so dark blue they can hardly be read.

    • Links, including MS Edge, produce various colors regardless of many trials with colors (no yellow).

    • Last, MS Word has lost adjustment of font & highlight colors, now only a shade of grey--especially the highlighter.

     I'll appreciate some help, otherwise the black/white is beautiful and easier on my 81 year-old-eyes. Thanks.
