I eventually did a repair/reinstallation of Win10 - I wasnt expecting it to make a difference as the problem seemed to be a corrupt profile but in fact this fixed it! No idea what the original cause was though.

Thanks again. I have fiddled around with these quite a bit, including deleting these keys and importing known good ones from another machine. The colors of the donor machine are adopted except for the start menu and action center. It is quite mysterious.

Thanks. Done before; it is set to 1 and I dont think that is the issue. Setting ColorPrevalence changes the behavior of the start menu and access center (no color or color) as expected EXCEPT that the color which appears when it is set to 1 is the wrong one. What I am looking for is the source...

Yep - many times :( . Changing it to zero or two removed color and leaves the access center and start menu black put putting it back to 1 doesnt cause them to adopt the correct color - they go blue instead.

Thanks for taking the time. I have already experimented with ColorPrevalance - it is set to 1 and the problem persists.

Thanks for taking the time but not relevant.

I have background as a solid color, windows dark mode, transparency on, a custom accent color and the boxes to show the accent color on start, taskbar, action centre, title bars and windows borders are all checked. Of these, neither the start menu nor action centre adopt the specified color...
