Windows 10: Windows 10 UI and fonts malfunctioning severely

I am experiencing an extremely irritating issue. I've seen similar issues reported for Windows 10 over the past few years with no real resolution.


What happens is, the UI essentially dies. Command Prompt is blank. Windows 10 dialogs are blank.


Programs suffer the same fate. Zoom, Skype, various chat programs, and some others all exhibit the same issue where dialogs are blank, buttons are blank, text is 100% missing......


why? How do we fix this?


This is unacceptable that basic functionality of an OS suddenly goes away. I've not experienced something like this ever until Windows 10. From as far back as Windows 3.1, this has not been a thing.


Here is a gathering of images demonstrating the problem. You are charging money for this operating system, and yet it does this? Cmon.



I needed to edit some system variables for some work I am doing. I cannot do so:




I need to do some things at the command prompt as well, but I cannot:


This is what all of my save dialogs look like:





I can only assume this image upload prompt is also incorrect:




As is the save dialog in paint:





Paint itself isn't looking to good either.





This is 100% unacceptable for something that you expect to be your flagship OS. The core component of the Windows OS is broken.


I thought we were past the era of "oh just reboot" to fix things? Rebooting is only a temporary solution. The issue always comes back.


I have tried inplace upgrades and reinstalls. Basically, this thing I paid money for isn't working as intended, and is impacting my ability to do work.


If you're going to do away with good versions of Windows and force this one on us, maybe make sure it's actually good.


One thing I notice is the following:


I have my folders grouped by type. When scrolling thru my downloads folder, I reach towards the bottom where .wsz files are sitting. The scrolling pauses, jitters, and then hops down. It lists no name for the heading bar of the wsz file, and similarly does this for .gz and .zip files.


This might be part of what causes the UI to tweak out.


I also do foreign language work and use IME. I notice that the Japanese especially goes insane during this time.



Ideas/solutions appreciated.

Missing Segoe UI Font


I was messing around with a program called Weinaero Tweaker, which lets you change elements of Windows UI like the color of title bars and the size of fonts etc. Anyway I tried using a couple of different fonts as my system font with the tool, and then decided to just go back to the standard "Segoe UI Regular", only to discover it was no longer listed in font selection drop down box in Winaero Tweaker. I then checked Control Panel\Fonts\Segoe UI, and sure enough Segoe UI Regular and Segoe UI Bold are both missing.

Where can I get a copy of the Segoe UI fonts that come with Windows 10 to replace the ones I lost? I tried running sfc /scannow hoping that would fix it, but it didn't work. I also tried running windows update to no avail either. I am download the Windows 10 installation media right now, because I read you could install fonts off the disc, but I haven't been able to find any information on how to do so.
