Windows 10: Most System Text and Labels "Disappear"

This issue happens occasionally, and a reboot usually fixed this. However, currently I have a process running that can't be interuppted, else the progress will be lost. Is there a way to "refresh" the system without a reboot? Win+Ctrl+Shift+B and restarting windows explorer didn't fix it. Thanks.

Text randomly disappears in most programs

After installing creators update, the text in most programs would disappear randomly, making them impossible to use.

Symptoms before this happens:

• Computer usually hangs (sometimes even mouse cursor freezes) for at least a few minutes
• If I happen to have task manager resource monitor up at the time of the freeze, read/write would be 0kbps, yet disk usage is 100%
• Usually I'd have some kind of CPU/GPU intensive program open like a game, but it's always minimized. In other words my computer never hangs while actually playing the game

Programs with missing text or glitched text:

• Desktop. Some letters get replaced with weird symbols, and hovering over icons with mouse would turn text a blurry black colour (see screenshot below)
  
  
• MS Paint
• Explorer (hovering over icons would cause text to disappear)
  
  
• CMD (completely blank black screen)
• Any windows prompts or confirmation popups
• Games
• MS Office apps like Word
• 
  

Programs that don't get affected:

• Internet browser (even foreign characters display fine)
• Windows context menus, like when you right click
• Task bar and start menu

I'm assuming something crashed, like fonts? But it's very weird why some programs or features don't get affected.

I Googled this and only found two "solutions", run SFC scannow, or uninstall "Comodo firewall". I've already ran SFC with no errors, and I don't have Comodo installed. Graphics drivers are all up to date (Intel HD + Nvidia Optimus). Also my issue is different as some programs aren't affected.

Simply restarting computer will fix this, but I'd like to find out what's causing it, as it's happening almost every day.

 

Windows10: all menu text disappeared! Help!

Hello,

Something is wrong with my Windows 10. A few days ago, all menu text disappeared! Initially, reboot the system would resolve the issue. But now reboot the system doesn't help at all. I tried to reset the system yesterday, it doesn't work either.

For example, if you click on the network button on the right bottom corner, a list of available wifi networks will be displayed. But what I get is only a list of the wireless icons, all the network names are disappeared.

However, if I login as a different user (Administrator), the menu text are back.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

 

Missing text box labels on Motorola Q9M

I am on my second Q9M from VerizonWireless in as many weeks. The problem I'm having is that most setup menus contain text boxes, or check boxes that have no corresponding labels. So I have no idea what text I'm supposed to place in the box. Verizon tech
support suggested a master reset when I called the first time, which did work, but only momentarily. Anybody else experiencing the same problem?
