Windows 10: any (easy) way to restore default fonts only in Windows font folder?

My windows 10 (64 bit) font folder is cluttered with fonts from over the years... I now understand that certain font managers can temporarily install fonts which is exactly what i need to do occasionally. Is there an way i can restore only the default windows system fonts in the font folder.

I was thinking about booting from a win PE enabled iso, deleting the fonts within the windows font folder and then pasting the default set of fonts from another laptop, then boot into windows, run a registry cleaner to remove all unlinked font references....will it work ? or is there another more reasonable way?

Default font settings restore.

Hello Triggsy18

Please follow these steps

Go to the Windows 10 search field on the taskbar, and type Control Panel. Click on the Control Panel link under the search results, to open it. With the Control Panel open, go to Appearance and Personalization, and then Change Font Settings under Fonts.

Under Font Settings, click the Restore default font settings button. Windows 10 will then begin restoring the default fonts. Windows can also hide fonts that are not designed for your input language settings. To do this, select the Hide fonts based on language
settings checkbox before clicking on the Restore default fonts button.

I hope it helps
