  3. Can't figure what setting my phone is on - duh!

    Yep, it's really strange. The symbol (headphone) isn't in the settings symbols in the instruction book, so can't figure out where it has come from. I will try the soft re-set, many thanks for your response! Treacy

    Strange symbol between figures of clock on taskbar.

    Mine shows a colon. It looks like your comp. has chosen another typo character. (That's not much help though!)

    You have a problem with the font used for the ':' that should be there, like in this thread...

    Win 10 Pro Creators update taskbar clock anomaly - any suggestions?

    If you can't fix the font and want to try the repair install, there's a tutorial.
    Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade

    If you are not on the Creators Update (version 1703) yet then you'll need the install media for the version you have (1607?). If you don't have the install media, let us know what version you are on and we can tell you how to get the right media.

    Did you by any chance use Winaero Tweaker to change the default System Font? That will definitely produce exactly what you have.

  7. Hi Guys,
    Yes, changed system font with Winaero.
    I will wait for the next major Windows update, rather than do as you guys suggest. Hopefully that will resolve then.
    It is no big deal as I hide the taskbar anyway.
    Thanks for you help.

    Update
    Reinstalled (extracted from Win10 media, and copied) the Windows fonts, all is now OK.
    Thanks again.

    @lafargeotte

    Glad you got it fixed. For future reference, you could have gone back into Winaero and clicked on reset this page where the System Font change was. It would have gone right back.

    Using a custom system font, I replace the colon with a hyphen.
