Default Resetting Desktop Theme

I was trying to put my theme back to Windows Classic, and when I did almost
everything went black. The text was black, the background was black, the
close/minimise/resize buttons were black, and more besides.
So I can't see anything to undo it.

Is there a keyboard prompt or something I can do to get it back so I can use
my PC again.

Thanks in advance,

Alex

Have you tried booting into Safe Mode? Restart the computer and keep hitting the
F8 key until you see the Windows Advanced Options menu. Hit the Up arrow key on
your keyboard until Safe Mode is highlighted. Hit the Enter key. Once in Safe
Mode, see if you can change the theme back to what you were using.

Good luck
