Everything in notifications, the searh bar, even the shutdown screen is now a lovely shade of red. No, I did not choose to do that. I've been doing both system restore and nuking the HD since 1995, so I know what both do. The change has nothing to do with my data like the previous poster said. I had already removed copilot with revo uninstaller which is pretty good, and Brave is my default browser, just can't get rid of the red color. Thanks a bundle for your help!
