Windows 10: Problem with Displaying Text in Taskbar Settings

Hello,I have a strange issue for some time now, I am on the insider program but this happened like long time ago and still hasn't resolved through multiple updates. So basically right click on taskbar opens up this menu, which shows some settings, but lot of them don't have text next to it, just icons.Idk if this was caused by some 3rd party software that i installed before for windows customization like widgets, but i deleted them all. Let me know if you can help fix this. Thanks!

Display settings changed to enhance performance - crude basic text

Hi there

New to this and clueless so sorry in advance! I have a Sony Vaio laptop running windows 10, about 5 years old. It started to lag a lot so I looked up some ways to enhance performance. Read a few articles online and followed a few steps to speed up my laptop. I cleared out a lot of unnecessary programs and changed some display settings. This all resulted in better performance, but the text on my screen to be reset to crude, basic text. (screenshot attached) I now have a suspicion that this is bad for my eyes and I'm about to start an online course, so I want to change the settings back. Unfortunately, I can't remember exactly what I did.
Here's what my screen looks like



I know that I definitely unchecked this: Automatically manage paging file size for all drives
(read it in an article and followed the steps exactly) and manually calculated paging file size for all drives. Would this have anything to do with my text problem?

Any suggestions of what happened and how to fix it would be great.
I'm also wondering if I change the settings back, if my laptop will return to it's previous slow speed, but I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Also try locking and then unlocking the Taskbar and check if this helps. Follow the steps below:

• Right-click an empty space on the taskbar.
• If Lock the Taskbar has a check mark next to it, the taskbar is locked.
  
• If it does not have a check mark, click Lock the Taskbar.
