  1. Changing system apps font


    I just made a previous post about some issue with the time in the taskbar after changing the font but now that I just fixed that I am curious about something else. Before I began to change the font, I expected it to be completely system wide (The lockscreen, settings, and default Windows apps) but it only affects the taskbar, 3rd party apps, and websites. Is there any way to make the font change for the things I listed that didn't change?

  2. how change my system font

    Hi Satyam,

    The default font on Windows 10 is called Segoe UI. Just to clarify, are you trying to change the default font or are you trying to revert to the default font? If you wish to change the default Windows 10 system font, you will need to modify
    the registry. Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow the steps carefully.

    If you want to revert to the default font, then I suggest that you restore Windows back to an earlier point in time, called a system restore point. Restore points are generated when you install a new app, driver, or Windows update, and when you create a
    restore point manually. Restoring won’t affect your personal files, but it will remove apps, drivers, and updates installed after the restore point was made.

    To restore your PC to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

    1. Press Windows key + R and type Control Panel.
    2. Type Recovery in the search box and select Recovery.
    3. Click on Open System Restore, and then follow the instructions.

    Note: If you’re not seeing any restore points, it might be because system protection isn’t turned on. To check, go to the
    Control Panel, search for Recovery, and then select
    Recovery > Configure System Restore > Configure
    and make sure Turn on system protection is selected.

    Let me know if you wish to change the default font instead so I can walk you through the process.

    Regards.
