Diving into one's subconscious, suggests that mc would have <appearance settings> at the <top menu level>. And indeed:-
=> PullDn > Option > Appearnce > Pulldown <- Test various & probably Save settings. That works on the installation which doesn't need it; but *this* one: GNU Midnight Commander 4.8.3 lacks that facility. So how do I select & USE one of the many <skins>? Now back to M$ & gmail to mail this. And I remember why links can't do gmail: they want JS enabled, so they can push garbage in-yo-face! This simple test & report needed booting to 3 installations. Always avoid updating, unless you've got plenty time to waste recovering your settings.
