Windows 10: Adding Fonts to Windows 10

I am trying to add a font to my computer, but it won't let me drag and drop the .ttf file into the Fonts Control setting. I've tried multiple .ttf files, so it's not just one bad one. I am attaching a pic of what shows up when I try to drag and drop. I recently got a new computer, so I wouldn't think there would be an issue with compatibility or whatever. Any ideas of why it won't let me add a font? I am the administrator, so permissions isn't an issue. Thanks for any help.

Adding Fonts

Hi,

Windows comes with pre-installed fonts, however, you can install other stylish fonts that you wish to use in your Windows system. To be able to add new fonts to your Windows apps and Microsoft Office apps, follow these steps:

• Close all of the Windows apps and Microsoft Office apps.
  
• Download .ttf files from a secured website that offers the fonts that you want to install on your Windows system.
  
• Once the .ttf file is downloaded, right-click on it and then click Install.

After the installation process, you should be able to use the newly installed fonts in most of your Windows apps and Microsoft Office apps.
