    Windows 10 - Fonts installed, showing in Control Panel, but inaccessible by Apps?


    Hi there,


    Recently I suffered an issue with a previous personal Windows 10 PC, so just replaced it with a brand new Win 10 Pro PC, used for CAD/CAM design work & CNC management.


    I managed to restore from a backup, and all my apps/data are as expected/needed... BUT:


    I'm having a real issue with fonts... I've installed each and every one multiple times now - both by clicking the install option for each and every one of them (over 500!), and also copy/pasting directly to the Windows Fonts directory...


    I can *see* the fonts visible (with previews) in the Fonts folder, and when I use a browser version of Wordmark.it to preview all installed fonts on my computer... BUT: they are not visible to my apps!!


    This problem has been over the last few days - the machine has been re-booted numerous times, but still the same problem persists.


    FWIW, I am the sole user of this PC, and my account profile is set to "administrator"


    Would ~really~ appreciate some help to understand why these fonts are not visible to my apps, please and thanks!


    -D

    where is NVIDIA control panel in windows 10?

    I cannot seem to get the nvidia control panel (system tray)
    I tried everything I could think of:

    - Nvidia driver uninstall + device uninstall + change device auto install drivers in hardware settings + clean install... no joy...
    - Windows automatically installs some nvidia drivers, no matter what I try and I can't see or find the control panel.

    Any suggestions?
