How to fix a monochrome or Grayscale display problem on Windows10

 

This problem is caused by the HIGH CONTRAST display setting set to Grayscale and a key stroke combination that will turn on the setting.

The easy way is to press the following keyboard shortcut:

Windows + CTRL + C.

Your screen gets back to color again.

If you press Windows + CTRL + C, it turns black and white again, and so on.

This keyboard shortcut enables or disables color filters for the screen. These are created for people with sight problems so that they can enable a certain filter and better see what is on the screen.

To disable the active grayscale color filter, you can also use the mouse or touch: open Settings and go to Ease of Access.

Then, in the column on the left, choose Color & high contrast.

On the right side of the Settings window, look for the switch that says "Apply color filter," and set it to Off.

Now the screen gets back to color.
