Windows 8 Jump List (Quick Launch, Task Bar) menu items background is too dark and icons misaligned

Question

On my new laptop with Windows 8 on initialization setup I probably chose a wrong background, which applied only to Quick Launch items context menu: now I can't see labels when i open any icon menu, see image below

I tried to find this color setting in Personalization, Task bar, Control Panel and so on - no result.

So, the question is quite easy: how do I restore default background color, or to set the labels color to light?

Uninstall the Update KB3072318. This is the update that shows the message to upgrade to Windows 10 during the OOBE. This update has a known bug which causes that problem. To remove the update, go to Control Panel -> Programs -> Installed Updates
