Hyper-V Guest VM makes it impossible to see my Taskbar.

I just recently upgraded from 22H1 to 22H2 (not sure if that's the culprit) and my Taskbar (mainly the System Tray portion where there's no color) is very difficult to see. I have nailed the culprit down to Hyper-V. Either when I launch Hyper-V Manager or even open a Hyper-V VM, the Taskbar's background takes on the color of the Hyper-V Manager or a Hyper-V VM. I mean, the whole effect does look cool, but it renders, particularly my host's System Tray useless, since I can't see it. Hyper-V is the only app that I can tell that does this, and I'm unable to tell of a way to prevent it in any Hyper-V Manager options.

Any thoughts on a fix?
