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?

    Why doesn't someone in Microsoft tell us, in simple non-tech language, how you fix this ridiculous way in which their Windows 10 will suddenly switch from black on white to white on black?  This so-called forum is ridiculous....most of the messages seem to be a repeat of the problem, not an answer to it.  One lady said try switching off high contrast. I asked how to do that. No answers at all, although several repeats of the  query turned up from various people round the world. Come on Microsoft , whats the answer. Send me an email if you like.........you probably know all about me!!
