Windows 10: How to completely get rid of font smoothing clear type in Windows 10

My pc keeps reverting to smooth fonts, I hate it, I like crisp non aliased fonts.

I modified this:

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

And changed the settings on FontSmoothingType to 1

It works for a while, then the smooth fonts come back again....grrrrr!

To make it even more frustrating, I can't do a system restore...

How can I TOTALLY nuke smooth fonts options from Windows 10, even modifying registry values doesn't seem to work;(

:)

 

In Windows 10 how do I return the font on my desktop icons to the default setting?
