Hey everyone... I just adjusted my graphics, display, and screen colors to grayscale using a keyboard shortcut. After trying everything, I'm still confused because nothing seems to work. It's all about pressing Win + CTRL + C on Windows 11 with Intel graphics and Framework laptop (thanks Linus) running Gen 12 i5-1240p. This isn't related to any accessibility settings—it's not the same as the usual shortcut. I've checked manually, turned it on and off, but it doesn't restore the color. I also reset everything to defaults without success. From what I remember, this happened a few years ago (around 5-8 years), and I didn't know how to fix it.

I confirmed the status remains unchanged.

Thanks for the idea. It seems like the simplest solution was what you proposed—I only pressed a couple of keys, but the (CTRL + Ins) option didn’t work.
