    Some font settings get reset to default every time Windows updates


    I have set some things so I can see 'em better. I change the icon font, title bar font, message font, status bar font to a little bigger size and bold. I also set the mouse to automatically move to the default button in a dialog box (in tab of POINTER OPTIONS tab in CONTROL PANEL Mouse applet, not the mouse properties in SETTINGS).

    Every time a minor or major Windows update comes along, all of these settings revert to the default. Is there any way to prevent this, or to create a registry patch to update them back to my desired settings in one swell foop?

    :)

  4. Some font settings get reset to default every time Windows updates

    Times new roman bold font

    To further isolate the concern, we suggest that you restore default settings and check if it helps. See steps below:

    • Press the Windows key + X, and then click on Control
      Panel.
    • Change the View by to large/small
      icons, and then click on Fonts.
    • On the left pane, click on Font settings.
    • Under Font settings, click on Restore default font settings.

    If restoring the default font settings does not bring back the Times New Roman Regular font, we suggest that if you have another computer with Windows 10, you can copy the Times New Roman Regular font into your PC's Font folder.
