    while i was looking for an app, i saw this weird visual error on my start menu; i resorted to performing a restart on my computer but, it didn't seem to work, i ended up coming on here to see if people were facing the same issue, but i couldnt find an answer in the given screenshot, you can see little things on the "A" letter, it's not an entire problem on my laptop because it didnt really affect anything else but the start, but i'd love to have it solved

    • Type and click Control Panel.
    • Click Appearance and Personalization and under Display, click
      Make text other items larger or smaller.
    • Under Change only the text size, choose the Title bars

    In addition you can try:


    • Stop Windows Font Cache service in services.msc.

    • Run C-Cleaner System / Font Cache option.

    • Start Windows Font Cache service again.

    If you have Ccleaner installed it's possible that you'd need CCEnhancer to see the font cache option.

    If you don't have it - read this:

    To change Windows fonts

    2. In the Item list, click the part of Windows that you want to change the font for. For example, if you want to change the menu font, click Menu in the list. Then, make any of the following changes:
