I have tried adjusting font colors and other things but it makes no difference. I have searched Google for ' windows 10 taskbar unreadable' and 'windows 10 task bar font black' and 'windows 10 task bar text too dark', and similar searches, but I can seem to nail this one down. I have another Windows 10 machine that I use daily and I can clearly see the writing on the task bar. The Windows 10 task bar is very difficult to read - especially the clock and any running tasks. Everything went fine without a hitch, except for one small issue. With Windows 7 reaching end of life in January 2020, I decided to upgrade my machine to Windows 10.
