Hi @yaraHamad,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

It sounds like you might have accidentally triggered a keyboard shortcut that changed your system settings or activated a feature you weren't aware of. It's not uncommon for certain key combinations to have unintended consequences, especially if they're system-wide shortcuts.

From your description, it seems like some accessibility features might have been activated or your display settings might have been altered.

In the meantime, you can try a few things:

• Restart your laptop: Sometimes a simple restart can fix unexpected changes or glitches.
• Check display settings: Go to your display settings and see if anything looks out of place or if any accessibility features have been turned on accidentally.
• Look for system changes: Check your system settings, particularly anything related to accessibility, display, or keyboard shortcuts.
• Restore system settings: If you can't figure out what changed, you might consider restoring your system to a previous state using System Restore (if available) or reinstalling display drivers.

Once you share the picture, I can offer more specific advice on how to revert the changes or fix the issue.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
