c` are blue, when all the others are black can anyone

Blue denotes that the drive/folder is compressed.

when you right click your C drive icon and select Properties is the box
checked that enables compression? If so uncheck this an click Apply unless
you want the drive compressed. Compression will save space but if your
system has problems it will be more difficult to fix if the drive is
compressed.
