Weird. I had this issue before, but only when I tried installing a theme before I patched the windows files to accept them, leading to the text being black on a dark grey background.

I have the exact same problem. I also just installed and patched this new machine. I'm guessing one of the new updates messed it up.

 

If you find a solution please post it here. Thanks. 

 

PS: I did find that they background color for the menu is set bu the background of the metro start menu.

 

You can change that color by doing a search for Backgrond start. Then change the color.

I had the same problem and after searching around I found that the update you need to uninstall is update KB3072318. I just uninstalled it and it fixed the problem!
