I have a brand new Dell Inspiron 7000 2-in-1 with Windows 8.1. When I right-click on an icon on the taskbar, the context menu has a purplish background with purple text. It is basically unreadable. In addition, the 'Unpin' context choice has the pushpin moved to the right so it's over the word 'Unpin'. If I hold the mouse cursor over the menu, I can tell what the choices are by panning up and down. This was a brand new PC. All I did was apply a Windows 8.1 Pro Pack (upgrade to Pro using a key) and I installed Office 2010 Standard. In addition, the default command prompt window has green text rather than white. I was able to correct that one pretty easily by changing the Command Prompt properties and defaults, but I cannot figure out how to fix the Taskbar context menu colors. Anybody know how to fix this annoying problem and what could have caused it? Thanks.

Don't usually respond to these but removing KB3072318 fixed this exact issue for me. Thanks. Personalization settings ... nope.
