Windows 10: 1903 Update - Font Cache CPU use at startup

I'm running Windows 10 1903 on a Surface Pro 4, i7, 16GB RAM, 256GB, and ever since installing the feature update, my CPU usage is dominated by the Font Caching Service upon cold booting or restarting the computer. It doesn't happen when waking from sleep. As a result, I am unable to access programs from the taskbar or even open the Start Menu for a few minutes until the caching process is complete. I just installed the 2019-05 Cumulative Update for 1903 and that did not seem to fix the issue. It’s a minor inconvenience, but an inconvenience nonetheless. I installed the feature update as a clean installation and load it back in a lot of fonts, as well as installing Adobe Creative Cloud. I do have a lot of fonts linked to my subscription, but I never experienced this issue on previous versions of Windows 10. Has anyone else experienced this and found a resolution?

Corrupted Fonts


In addition you can try:

• Stop Windows Font Cache service in services.msc.

• Run C-Cleaner System / Font Cache option.

• Start Windows Font Cache service again.

If you have Ccleaner installed it's possible that you'd need CCEnhancer to see the font cache option.

If you don't have it - read this:
