Windows 10: Corrupted Font Preventing Search, Store, and Xbox From Working

A few months ago I installed a font pack for editing a photoshop template. Afterwards my start menu search bar stopped working but that's not all. Windows store, the task bar weather, Xbox app, and a check printing program stopped working correctly. Even the font on some websites didn't look right. I tried clearing the font cache and resetting the font settings. That didn't work. I can't even upgrade to Windows 11. Is it possible to replace every system front with the fonts from a Windows installation disk? That's all I can think to do other than back everything up and reinstall.

Issue with Fonts in search results and home page

Hi Eric,



I would suggest you to search for Font settings using Search and then click on “Change Font settings”. Click on
Restore default font settings and check if it helps.



If the issue is not resolved, I would suggest you to perform System File Checker (SFC) scan. System File Checker is a utility in Microsoft Windows that allows users to scan for and restore corruptions in Windows system files. Follow these steps to
run the command and check if it helps.

• Press Windows key + X on the keyboard.
• Click on Command prompt (Admin).
• Type ‘sfc /scannow’ without quotes and press Enter.

Let us know the results.

In addition you can try:

• Stop Windows Font Cache service in services.msc.

• Run C-Cleaner System / Font Cache option.

• Start Windows Font Cache service again.

If you have Ccleaner installed it's possible that you'd need CCEnhancer to see the font cache option.

If you don't have it - read this:
