Windows 10: How to restore default system fonts?

Hi all,

I'm a designer and recently installed some very bold variants of Helvetica Neue on my PC. It works fine for my purposes but has taken over as the default system font - as you can see in the attached screenshot of a random webpage. Wherever another font is not explicitly specified, I get Helvetica Neue Black Condensed.

It's not exactly system breaking, but it's very annoying, and the various guides I've found online haven't proven very helpful. Specifically I've tried uninstalling the font file (Windows won't let me do this because the font is being used by System), deleting it with RegEdit (didn't seem to do anything) and using the Font Settings menu from Control Panel to restore default font settings (ditto).

I know it's not simply a browser issue as it also shows up in Outlook and a few system dialogues.

Is there a way to either reverse this change or to set a new default system font, at which point I can choose SegoeUI?
