Windows 10: What's a good alternative system font?

Windows 10 uses a lot of glyphs/unicode and really really wants them all in the system font. What's a good font to replace Segoe UI with? I just really don't like it for some reason I can't exactly put my finger on. I know how to use another font, I'm just looking for recommendations on which font to use.

Edit / Update: I am wondering if there's some additional fuckery going on. I smashed together some google noto fonts haphazardly so it should have everything windows wants and still some things aren't showing up. Does anyone actually know what is used for stuff? Such as the audio controls. I know under some circumstances the time is displayed with the ratio dots instead of a colon.
