Hello everyone,

 

My Visual Studio 2019 16.8.2 looked ugly in text editor after running the following Windows updates:

 

- 2021-02 Update for Windows 10 Version 1909 for x64-based Systems (KB4023057)

- Update for Removal of Adobe Flash Player for Windows 10 Version 1909 for x64-based Systems (KB4577586)

- 2021-02 Cumulative Update Preview for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8 for Windows 10 Version 1909 for x64 (KB4601556)

- 2021-02 .NET Core 3.1.12 Security Update for x64 Client

- 2021-02 .NET Core 2.1.25 Security Update for x64 Client

- 2021-02 .NET 5.0.3 Security Update for x64 Client

- Security Update for Windows 10 Version 1909 for x64-based Systems (KB4535680)

- 2021-02 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1909 for x64-based Systems (KB5001028)

 

The colors looked very off after running these updates. Before running them, it looked nicer, like nice combinations of colors. Commas and parentheses have the color of black; strings have the color of red; some types like "String", "True", and "False" all have the xenon blue color; and other types like "Console" all have turquoise color. Some of them, like "If," "Else," and "For Each," have their correct colors.

 

Also, the line selection background seems to be changed to light gray with white border from the usual dark gray with light gray border. The selection bar on the scroll bar changed from white to xenon blue. The "SPC" and "CRLF" buttons have their white borders.

 

Moreover, if I hovered to a box with the minus sign right next to the line numbers, the snippet will be selected with the light gray background instead of the usual grayer color. If you don't get any of this, pictures will explain.

I've never messed with any of Visual Studio files, and I've never changed the color settings as I've checked it and they're on their correct settings. Is there any way how can I revert this mess?

You could check your Visual Studio 2019 16.8.2 for updates.

16.8.6 should be available

Update and then check for improvements regarding your issues with Win updates.

Without updating Visual Studio, I opened it once more, and found that the colors are now back to their correct colors.

Either way, I'll update Visual Studio. Thanks so much for help!
