Excel
- If I may ask, is it only in the office that no more colors are refilled?
Which operating system do you have?
To find out which version of Windows your PC is running, press Windows logo key + R and type winver in the Open box. Then select OK. To find out more: Select the Start> Settings> System> Info button (only if the OS is windows).
If this is only the case in Excel, I recommend that you insert a file (without sensitive data) into the problem that appears to you.
But if the problem occurs in all applications, I recommend that you carry out a Windows repair or update.Use a fix-it tool with Windows 10

Thank you for kindly responding to my problem.
I have Windows OS
Edition Window 10 Home
Version 20H2 OS
I followed your excellent instructions; ran the fixit tool and tested both word and excel, however I did not get a change in the issue which is affected through out my whole Office Suite.
I re installed 365 Personal twice (purchased in April 2019 and worked fine. )and it executed, but remains the same. Hope you can help.
Where is no color to be seen?
In the text sheet, worksheet, ect. , or also on the control bars of Office applications?
Could you insert a file (with no sensitive data) or a picture where the problem can be seen?
Thank you for your understanding and patience

NikolinoDE I will do my best to explain. All icons below the bar are in color EXCEPT the Windows Icon which is black and white. When I click to open a program supported by windows (like Excel, Word, Publisher) the only place that color shows up is in the upper bar of Excel for Text and Cell color. However the option to use the color within the cell of excel, or publisher or word will not apply (or populate) to use within the document. Oh - my printer picks up color, but it can't be seen on the screen in excel.
I use Excel for my budget and color code the cells. The cells won't operate to change or apply color.
I use Publisher for my desktop creations for business cards and personal cards.
I use Word to type correspondence and many time to copy and paste photos of my crafts.
I did get three MS techs in a chat and the last one guessed that the problem is within the icons, but I don't know. They were suppose to let me know in an e-mail what action to take, but no response has come back in days. I will try to send an attachment file.
Check in your Windows setting if color filter is on.
With grayscale it'll be no colors.
- I added colors to the cells in your file, can you see them? (B6, B8, B10, B14,, B20, B24, B28, B31, B36).
With under the bar, do you mean the Windows bar? (horizontal at the bottom of the screen) or the Excel bar? (Horizontal at the top of the screen).
Ps. Have you tried the contrast settings?Yes by saying "under the bar" I do mean the windows bar where you can "pin to start" an icon.
I have tried the settings you suggested (which I did try several times before) and that didn't fix the problem.
Also, when I tried to turn on/off High Contrast a pop up window displayed "this them can't be applied to the desk top".
