How to remove colored window outline in Windows 10?
Notice the blue border around the settings window:
I have that blue border because I changed my accent color to blue. I want my accent color to be blue so the start menu buttons are blue, but I don't want that window border (regardless of color) at all. How can I remove it? i.e. through the registry
windows-10 colors

If coming here due to a blue box appearing around anything that you select (i.e. mouse click or tab to):
This is due to Narrator running.
To turn it off hold down the Caps Lock key and press the Esc key.
You can also permanently disable Narrator.

From a Reddit thread:
- Hit WIN+R , type Control Color and press enter.
- Lower "Color Intensity" to 0 (All the way to the left. This does not affect the accent color intensity whatsoever)
- Feel at peace with your desktop again

I should have clarified - it doesn't remove it completely, just reduces the impact.
