Windows 10: Change font on desktop icons

For some reason the icon labels on my desktop now look more like Windows 7. It looks like double vision and hard to read. Any time I search for a remedy for this question the results are "if you want to change your display to look more like Windows 7" and you have Windows 10. There are some answers that are 6 years old and of course the options that you might try to select don't match up with the current layout or verbiage in settings.

Desktop Icon Font Change

I installed Windows ten a few days ago and when I check for updates there are none listed so I believe I am up to date. My issue is is specifically with the desktop and the font being used under each desktop icon. I would like to find a way of using
a different font for the purpose of identifying these icons. I used to be able to change the font as well as the size in Windows 7. I have found a way to change the size in W 10 but still have not been able to change the actual font used.
