Windows 10: Windows font has changed in non-system apps

HI, after a recent windows update 21H2, build 22000.348, my font in non-system apps has changed to a pixelated hard to read font wherever the app does not select a specific font, does anyone have a fix for this? Pixelated font: Regular font: I have already tried resetting font settings in control panelEDIT: Apologies, I just realized that I had set Windows to "adjust for best performance" and changing this back has fixed this. Sorry!

:)

 

how change my system font

Hi Satyam,

The default font on Windows 10 is called Segoe UI. Just to clarify, are you trying to change the default font or are you trying to revert to the default font? If you wish to change the default Windows 10 system font, you will need to modify
the registry. Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow the steps carefully.

If you want to revert to the default font, then I suggest that you restore Windows back to an earlier point in time, called a system restore point. Restore points are generated when you install a new app, driver, or Windows update, and when you create a
restore point manually. Restoring won’t affect your personal files, but it will remove apps, drivers, and updates installed after the restore point was made.

To restore your PC to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:

1. Press Windows key + R and type Control Panel.
2. Type Recovery in the search box and select Recovery.
3. Click on Open System Restore, and then follow the instructions.

Note: If you’re not seeing any restore points, it might be because system protection isn’t turned on. To check, go to the
Control Panel, search for Recovery, and then select
Recovery > Configure System Restore > Configure
and make sure Turn on system protection is selected.

Let me know if you wish to change the default font instead so I can walk you through the process.

Regards.

I cannot change the system fonts in Windows 10. I have gone in and changed the title bars, etc, but there are still some fonts that are too small for my eyes. One example is my Outlook address book. Anyone have any suggestions please?
