    Metro UI font is garbled or corrupted or glitchy in Windows 10


    Hi forum.


    I have a laptop where the text on the Windows 10 Metro UI elements Start menu, Windows Settings, Notifications, Lock screen, etc is unreadable. It was working fine for 1-1.5 years, then started to get a bit glitchy. Now it is very glitchy. I spent a few hours trying to fix the issue, but I am out of ideas now. Does anyone have tips on how to fix this?

    • The problem does not occur anywhere else Notepad, Control Panel, Google Chrome, etc, strictly a Metro UI thing.
    • The Segoe UI font packs are NOT corrupted, I could open them and they were in tact.
    • I ran an sfc /scannow, no problems.
    • Ran a chkdsk, no problems.
    • Turned off ClearType, did not help.
    • Changed DPI settings, did not help.
    • Tried DisableFontBootCache in the Registry, did not help.
    • Updated to the latest graphics drivers, nothing helped.
    • Ran virus scans, did not find anything.
    • The OS is up to date.

    This is an ASUS X540S laptop, graphics come from the Intel Pentium N3700 CPU, but I doubt it has to do anything with the graphics driver.

    Some people suggest that I simply reinstall the system, but what if the issue comes back? I do not want to reinstall Windows every month or so.

    This is how it looks like Note: sorry for not having screenshots. Note 2: this is the Hungarian UI

    Unreadable, garbled font in Windows 10 Metro UI

    Posting again...

    This is seriously a big issue for me. I can barely read anything on my start menu... All the inbuilt app fonts become distorted!

    Ran an SFC scan which solved some issues apparently, but none that are noticeable. I still get fuzzy/unreadable/distorted/garbled text.

    Help.

    For screenshots, look at my other post :

    Not sure what you mean by "tool." Just follow the steps. The files to delete are those listed under the temp folder.

    Good luck!
