Windows 10: Word crashes when changing font and subsequently text disappears in entire Windows...

Hello,


So this is a problem I have faced 3 times in just 1 month. The first two times it happened, I did reset my PC but I cannot keep doing this every single time.


This error seems to start randomly. When I try to change font in Word or any other Office product, first I get a blank error:



Following this, irrespective of whether I press that blank button or close the dialog box, the entire OS stops showing text attached two pictures:






Can anyone please help me solve this? It is really frustrating to lose time resetting the laptop and installing software every so often.


Thanks!


PS. I think it is more of a Windows problem and not just Office. Hence I am posting it under Windows category.
