I just installed Windows 10 Home on my PC and left it to get updated. After sometime when I checked it showed no updates available and it was updated to build 1803. But when I enabled dark theme it wasn't applied to Explorer. How can I enable it?
Every suggestions are appreciated...

It's also available for anyone running 1809.
