I have searched all the keywords I can think of & I can't seem to find this problem addressed anywhere. The type on my address toolbar in the taskbar is very faded. Almost like it's grayed out, but not quite. I had it do this when I first installed Win 8.1, messed with some settings, but none that seemed to make any sense & it went away. Now it's back & I haven't done any setting changes! Has anyone seen this before & can help?!

Thanks,
Cheryl

Check if high contrast mode is on:

Press Winkey-q and arrow down to Settings. Then type in the search line the word contrast.
You should get a hit "turn high contrast mode on or off" or words to that effect. Click it to check the setting.

Nothing was selected. But I went into the Personalization settings, changed to a high contrast theme & then back to my normal theme & now the address bar is back to normal. No clue why, but it is.
