Users like to experiment with new themes downloaded from the Internet, and then they cannot restore the default themes.

Click on the "Apply" button and close the "Properties: Display" window by clicking on the X icon in the upper right corner of the window or on the OK button.
Step 3
If the standard themes are no longer displayed in the "Display Properties" window, restore them in a different way. Through the "Start" menu, call the "Control Panel". In the "Performance and Maintenance" category, select the "Administration" icon by clicking on it with the left mouse button. In the folder that opens, select the "Services" icon - a new dialog box will open.
