I have a Lenovo Flex 4 Windows 10 laptop. Additional specifications are listed at the bottom.
I have a very strange problem. My account seems to be stuck in black and white. When I boot the computer, the lock screen is in color. When I log into my account, it is in solely black and white. When I log into another account, color is restored.
I am at a loss. I booted into safe mode and the issue was not resolved. I know it is not a hardware problem, as color would then not appear anywhere.
If anyone has any advice to offer, it would be much appreciated.
EDIT:
I have not found a solution to the problem yet, so the temporary solution I found is to just use another account. Although I don't believe this to be a permanent solution, I am growing increasingly frustrated with using a computer with a black and white screen.
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Thanks.
Edit 2:
One more thing which I forgot to mention is that the screenshots appear in black and white. I have tried resetting both of the graphic card control panels to factory defaults, and have also tried fully uninstalling and reinstalling both drivers.

I found this thread via Google, but for me the problem was different:
Win + CTRL + C was disabled already- The Color Filters were disabled
The solution was f.lux: It has a shortcut to switch between color effects via Alt + Shift + PgUp/PgDwn and one of them is grayscale. I hit that key combination quite often by accident when switching virtual desktops and had to disable it.

This might be true for other drivers too

Thanks for your suggestion, but I already have checked the catalyst settings. I compared the settings between the accounts which have the color and the account that doesn't. They are the same.

In that case, I would suggest trying to reset the setting to default. Just because they are the same, doesn't mean they are applied correctly.

@Michael Frank I reset both the AMD and Intel settings to default, and no change occurred. When I take a screen shot and view it on another screen, the screen shot is in black and white.

I found this thread via Google, but for me the problem was different:
Win + CTRL + C was disabled already- The Color Filters were disabled
The solution was f.lux: It has a shortcut to switch between color effects via Alt + Shift + PgUp/PgDwn and one of them is grayscale. I hit that key combination quite often by accident when switching virtual desktops and had to disable it.

... that's odd. Greyscale black and white? Sounds almost like some odd per user software...

@Journeyman Geek I thought the same thing, but I looked through the installed program list and haven't really installed anything recently. I'll look into it more.

When bounties open up, and if this isn't solved, see if you can give me a ping. This problem seems interesting enough to bounty.

@Journeyman Geek Sure thing! One thing which points to it not being caused by software is that the problem persists in safe mode. That is one of the most perplexing parts to me.

But its specific to an account. Also, if its software and not hardware, it should be B&W on a screenshot, and not colour.
