Fonts extremely small in some applications - Windows 10

Recently, we had a Surface Pro 3 exhibit some weird behavior with menu fonts (all other fonts were okay, only menu fonts). What is even more weird was the thing that "fixed" it.

The symptoms was precisely as follows:

1. System operating fine all the way until Windows 10 1703 Creators Update
   
2. After which, the menu fonts appeared incredibly small
   
3. Whenever the PC was reboot, the first app run, would show normal menu font, then, the subsequent app launched (be it same or different) would yield microscopic menu fonts (I estimate it was half the font size compared to everything else). Even popup font for right click on Windows start was affected.
   

I tried registry hacks to the Windows Metrics as well as setting the Windows DPI to a higher level, but, the weird behavior described in step 3 persisted.

I found a bizarre solution to the problem:

1. Open Control Panel
   
2. Open Region control panel
   
   • If View by: category:
     
     • Click Clock, Language and Region
       
     • Click Region
       
   • If View by: Small icons Large icons
     
     • Click Region
       
3. Select Administrative tab
   
4. Language for non-Unicode programs > Click Change system locale ...
   
5. For me, it was set to English (Australia), change it to another language, say, Chinese (Simplified)
   
6. Reboot
   
7. Note the menu fonts now display normally for all apps
   

As to why we had this font problem and as to why the above fixes it, I have no idea. I was just randomly troubleshooting the problem and accidentally stumbled upon this fix. Just for further troubleshooting, I changed the locale back to English (Australian) and even English (United States), and the problem returned.
