I have dark themes set, but windows seems to want to do its own thing, if I open up personalisation change it to a light theme and then back to a dark theme, everything goes dark (how I want it) then close it down and reopen it and its back to light again but only for a couple of the windows, everything else remains as dark.

That's not normal. Probably a corrupt install. Try a repair install.

its only happened after I changed the PSU yesterday which is the really strange part, I tried an SFC /scannow which found corrupt files and fixed them, didnt however fix this.

clean install time

I was hoping I wouldnt have to, system is a bit of a nightmare to set up especially as I have to run VMWare for a piece of software I need to use too.

Have you tried to toggle the setting? Select light mode and then switch back. A repair install will not wipe your programs or settings and helped me enormously the other day.

Yes ive tried switching between light and dark, its does go dark if I keep the windows open, but as soon as I close them and reopen them again, its light again, its not sticking.

With regards to a repair install, will I need the installation media for that or can I do it from the windows update / advanced menu ?

Thank you' i'll give the repair a try, ive already got the latest ISO on my desktop just in case I needed to fresh install.
