Windows 10 system fonts disappeared

Hi Daniel,

This issue occurs due to corrupted system files. We suggest that you run
SFC and DISM. You may follow the steps provided by
ZigZag3143 (MS -MVP) on his article. It will check for any system
file corruptions on your system.

Also, you can restore your default font settings by following the steps below:

• 
  Press Windows + R and type control.exe, and hit
  Enter.
  
• 
  Click on Appearance and Personalization; then, choose
  Fonts.
  
• 
  In the left pane, click on Font settings.
  
• 
  Hit Restore default font settings.
  

We would appreciate it if you could get back to us and provide us your feedback.
