Fixed an issue where the theme could not be changed on Windows 7
Can't change Windows 7 theme? Is your Windows 7 theme stuck to the "classic" option? If that's the case, then there are some fixes you can try to see if you fix the problem!
Often the theme persistence error is caused by your PC configured to be optimized for best performance, instead of its best appearance!
Check the option 'Use Visual Styles on Windows and Buttons'
Usually, the reason why your Windows 7 theme is stuck on the classic version is because your PC is configured to optimize for better performance. Some laptops even come pre-configured that way. Actually, that's a good setting, but if you want a nicer look, it will be frustrating not to change the theme. So, if you can't change your Windows 7 theme, you may want to check your PC's configuration first:
Step 1. Open Control Panel.
Step 2. Click System and Security .
Step 3. Click System.
Step 4. In the sidebar, click Advanced System Settings.
Step 5. Go to the Advanced tab and click Settings.
Step 6. Scroll the list down to the bottom, double-check that ' Use Visual Styles on Windows and Buttons ' is selected. If this option is not selected, your Windows 7 theme will be stuck in the 'classic' state for a long time, as this completely disables the fancy visual Aero interface.
Double-check that the 'Use Visual Styles on Windows and Buttons' option is selectedThis is also often the problem that makes people seem unable to activate the Windows 7 Aero theme, as their PC is configured to be optimized for the best performance, not the best interface.
Service Themes are not started
If the Windows 7 Themes service is not started, the Windows 7 theme will be stuck in 'classic' mode. You cannot change your Windows 7 theme when Service Themes is disabled. So check if Service Themes is working or not.
Step 1. Click Start and type services.msc in the search field. Click the item that appears.
Step 2. Scroll down the list until you find Themes (or enter Themes when an item is selected).
Step 3. Now, you can see if Service Themes is currently running and what mode it is in ( Automatic, Disabled, Manual ).
If it is currently in 'Disabled' or 'Manual' mode and it hasn't started yet, you must start it manually and change the mode to 'Automatic'.
Step 4. Double-click Themes and from the drop-down menu, select Automatic , click Start and then choose Apply.
