Display issues in power bi desktop

When I open powerBI desktop Ican't see certain things in the programme, specifically text e.g. for the icon on the ribbon and fields in the fields pane.  Data is loaded and if I click or hover in the area the data is there, just not visible!  Everyrthing else on my laptop is working fine and have tried multiple restarts and re-installs of the programme.  Any help would be really appreciated!

not sure what I did but it seems to have fixed itself, was messing about with the privacy settings and then restarted powerBI and could see everything again!  very odd and sorry I didn't make a note of exactly what I changed.
