Hi,
When booting my PC this morning, Windows was in Dark mode. So I went to the Display Settings and specified Light mode. Everything turned Light so I was happy.
But then, 3 minutes later roughly, it switched to Dark again. I went back to the settings and saw it has switched to Dark. So I switched it back to Light again, but automatically, after 3mn or so, the setting changes by itself to Dark again!

First I uninstalled ExploerPatcher as I thought it was the culprit but I was wrong. The problem remained even with ExplorerPatcher being uninstalled.

I don't know what to do next to get rid of this problem.

Thanks for helping me out,

The new Power Toys Light Switch is a pretty cool feature to auto switch between light and dark mode on a schedule. Since I like Dark Mode 24/7 though I had to turn it off on my machines. FYI, it's set to ON by default though lol.
