      I remember Windows 7 doing that. It was removed in Windows 8 and later.

        I thought I caught it doing that on my current windows 8 system too. not certain though.

        I found it the most when using the built in screen shot functionality. Since I switched to Greenshot, I never see the original issue

            The MS article I linked to didn't fix it 😞

              Does the picture vary in some way or just the background?

                I see that the fur on the cat is more yellow in the first shot.

                  Slightly, but that may be because the background is an off-white.

                    Not sure what you mean?
                    This is what I see from his two pictures when I put them side by side. The one on the left is definitely yellowed.

                      Yep you're right sorry. I thought it may have been yellowed in contrast to the background of Windows Photo Viewer. Now I see it is in the picture itself.

                        Righto, after some more Google-Fu and some rewording, I found this: http://www.nextofwindows.com/how-to-fix-windows-photo-viewer-displaying-yellow-or-orange-tint-for-white-and-transparent-images/

                        It appears to be similar to steps that I have tried before but the last part seems to be a bit different. I'll give it a go when I next get a chance (hopefully tonight)
