Windows 10: Microsoft Paint shutting down when font icon is selected.

I just ran an update on Microsoft Windows 11 Home 10.0.22621 Build 22621 and now whenever I click the font icon in Microsoft Paint, the program shuts down. Does anyone know how to fix this. I happen to use Paint all the time and the font feature on images.

Fonts in Microsoft Paint

I have a Font Fetish. I have installed hundreds on my PC however just recently I have found that I can no longer access them through Paint. When I scroll through the available fonts the drop down list they are in alphabetical order and it stops at IBM.
There is about 1000 options on the list, however that includes the many variations some scripts offer.

How can I include all my fonts for me to choose from in Paint again?

I can access the complete range of fonts in Paint 3D, just not in regular old Paint.

When I click Select a Font on Paint 3D, the whole app closes...is there any way to fix this?

 

Microsoft signals end of Paint program

Microsoft has confirmed that it will continue to offer its graphics program Paint.

In a recent update, it had listed Paint as a feature that would be either removed or no longer developed.

Paint, renowned for its simplicity, has been part of the Windows operating system since its launch in 1985.

Microsoft suggested it would not remain on Windows 10 by default but did say it would be available for free on the Windows Store.
