Windows 10: Why does Microsoft Rich TextBox Control version 6.0 incorrectly display code page Serbian...

In an Application written in FoxPro Microsoft Rich TextBox Control 6.0, text entered from a Cyrillic keyboard cp 1251 displays as if it were cp 1252. Cyrillic text entered with copy/paste displays correctly, as does Cyrillic text from a Russian, Bulgarian or Macedonian keyboard. The application worked correctly under Win XP. I saved WordPad from this version of WIndows, and in it the Serbian Cyrillic is displayed incorrectly. My Windows is set to the region Serbia, and the language is Serbian Cyrillic.

Microsoft Edge incorrectly displaying accents

I am experiencing a problem when I browse French web sites with Microsoft Edge incorrectly displaying characters with accents.

When I type a URL (e.g. https://www.leboncoin.fr/electromenager/offres/aquitaine/?th=1&parrot=0) Microsoft edge displays the accent over the e with no problem. If I then select one of the advertisements and view it everything still appears correctly.
However, when I then use the browser return arrow to go back to the list, all the accents (circumflex, acute and agrave) have all been replaced by the Unicode
� REPLACEMENT CHARACTER U+FFFD (black diamond containing a white question mark)

This problem does not appear in Internet Explorer 11 - I can freely browse the sites without any characters being incorrectly displayed. I've tried switching language settings and keyboard - but the problem persists.

 

display option in control panel in Windows 10

Looks like version 1703 was the source of the problem. But the display settings I found are not as feature rich for fonts as they were before..i.e. changing the size of desktop icon fonts.

 

Color bit depth is at 6-bit on Display properties of Windows 10 pro

Try the below suggested steps and check if the suggested options are available to change the Color bit Depth value

1. Right click on the desktop and select NVIDIA Control Panel.
2. Expand the Display, and then highlight the Change resolution.
3. On the right side, check if there is 8 bpc listed under
   Output color depth.
4. You may select 8 bpc and restart the device to witness the changes.
