and was wondering what happened to make it do this for every Web Site, etc. It is pretty annoying as everything was there in Color and then the next minute Black and White. Have tried everything I can think of, but is there a Setting or something I need to do to make it all come back? I am using Windows 10. ~~TINA~~

I suspect that you may have inadvertantly enabled Greyscale or High Contrast. Open up Settings and select Ease of Access. There is a link of the left hand side for Colour and High Contrast. You will now see a switch for Apply Colour Filters. This provides all the varied options for appearance.

Thanks for the help. :) This was the issue, and the Greyscale is no longer checked. Color is back

@KrauseHome It seemed the most likely cause.

Have you tried shutting it down and restarting? Once we had a monitor that list its red colour after a power surge. I noticed it when I tried to play Solitaire.

All I know is that there are some settings on the computer to make the colors come back though i cannot explain how to go about it.

I'm not sure what might have caused it. Hopefully, refreshing or shutting it off might help.

My Windows 10 is home, but I'd have to call in the Geeks for help if it happened to me. Hope it fixes itself for you.

I haven't had that problem with Windows 10. I hope you were able to get your color back.
