  1. Font keeps uninstalling when rebooting PC and VS code can't use it anymore


    I recently installed a font to use with VS code but now, every time I restart my PC, VS code goes back to the default font.


    Nothing's changed in the settings, but it's like it cannot find it anymore, it has the same behaviour as when you type the name of a font that's not installed. Also, it doesn't appear in the fonts list in the settings anymore. However, other programs like Word can still use the font and if I search for it in the list of fonts of control panel instead of settings, it is still there. The only way I've found of making it work properly again is by reinstalling it by dragging the file into the settings' fonts window and clicking "yes" when a window pops up asking "The 'Fira Code' font is already installed. Do you want to replace it?" but it's quite annoying to have to reinstall the font every time my PC reboots...


    Is there a solution to this?

    :)

    Step 1:

    I would suggest you to try these steps and check whether it helps in fixing your issue.

    Open font settings by clicking on start, click on control panel, and then click on appearance and personalization, under fonts click on change font settings. And select the font size.

    Step 2:

    If you’re trying to change windows font size then please follow the steps below:

    To change Windows fonts

    1. Open Appearance Settings by clicking the Start button and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type window color, and then click Change window colors and
    metrics
    .

    2. In the Item list, click the part of Windows that you want to change the font for. For example, if you want to change the menu font, click Menu in the list. Then, make any of the following changes:

    · In the Font list, click the font that you want to use.

    · In the Size list, click the font size that you want.

    · In the Color list, click the font color that you want.

    3. Repeat these steps for each item that you want to make changes to, and then click OK.

    Does that help?
