My screen is now black with white and blue letters; very difficult to see/use. My email is all black screen, white letters. How do I change it back to white background, black letters?

    I have windows 10. without warning the letters are white on a black background. the printer prints out like that... white letters on solid black page!  I can't find an answer on the so called help pages. how the hell do I sort this out?

    Try turning off high contrast mode. That solved the problem for me.
