Windows 10: Fonts getting uninstalled after restart

The screenshot I posted has all the requisite information that was asked for. It has written dir /a on the top.



At the bottom in the last line, I gave command cd windows, after which nothing happened.


I am using Kaspersky Internet Security 2016. I ran a thorough scan with it and found no viruses or infections.

I have safe boot turned on in my BIOS.

 

After cd /windows you needed to also type dir /a to list the directory. cd just brings you to the the Windows directory.
What Bill was looking for is, in your screenshot of your leftover fonts, the path shown in th address bar shows as > .Windows > .Fonts > there should not be a dot in front of Windows or Fonts:

 

thanks archz2 - yes, I only asked for a cd windows, Cliff might have thought I wanted a directory list, but that would have nbeen too big to fit on the screen

any way, some discussion on the screen ssot in post# 8 - shows .windows > .fonts




As I'm typing I see Cliff posted a screen of his explorer

The issue seems to be font related more than anything else

the cd Windows shows no dot (.) in front of the directory

 

Keep it up Bill*Thumbs

 

There's a bit of cross talk, so I'll bow out for now

Dism & SFC or Repair Install would be my next suggestions - back to you Cliff

 

That dot seen in post number 8 was coming just before a space in the address bar when font trouble recurred.

So even if I have a folder like C:\Awesome Music, it would show up as C:\. Awesome Music

 

I'm baccccck
Uninstall all 3rd party fonts
Reset Fonts to default
Restart Explorer

then I'd try SFC...

 

I have tried sfc (it does fixing in safe mode) and repair install as already stated. But I fail to solve the issue.

 

Thanks, that's not normal *Eek
Since Command sees the correct filename - it's only File Explorer which uses .... fonts - so if fonts are corrected so should the Explorer display anomaly ... it looks as though it only affects folders, the font names in post 8 look fine

Now, I'm really bowing out - another thread deserves my attention *Wink

 

Make sure you don't have Hide fonts based on language settings checked, then try running the following in cmd prompt:

fsutil resource setautoreset true c:\&fsutil usn deletejournal /d /n c:&Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup&&sfc /scannow&Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth&sfc /scannow&Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase&pause

Then post what it shows. I nned to know if it completes, or if any portion didn't. If something failed to run, we'll need to run it through a mounted ISO.

 

Is that a one single line command?!!!!

No pressing "enter" key?

 

It's just one line. Just copy and paste it in(middle click)

 

Okay, I'll do so right away. I have just switched on my PC. Just finished my dinner. Thanks a lot for your quick response *Smile

 

I finally finished the first phase of help on another member's thread.

I found the culprit! Yipppppeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!*chuckle



It's Avenir font. Just now I have removed all type of Avenir fonts from my system and the problem has been solved. Its a very good font that I've been using a lot in my work since the days of Windows 7. It runs fine on windows 8.1 too but looks like that it's incompatible with Windows 10. It has given trouble to other users as well whose posts I read and got the idea!
