    Hi @JerryM ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

    Please go to Tools > Options > Environment > Fonts and Colors > Display items:, then, set the "Item foreground:" and "Item background:" of Plain Text and Punctuation to Default.
    If it doesn’t work, you can enter “devenv /ResetSettings” at Developer Command Prompt to restore your Visual Studio default settings

    Sincerely,
    Anna
