Help with Windows 11 Needed
I did something that changed the fonts on my machine for certain tasks to appear as follows, and I don't know how to fix it.

This is the task bar search window:




"I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation."

Try this:

Restore Default Font Settings via Control Panel:

Press Windows + R, type control, and press Enter to open the Control Panel.

Navigate to Appearance and Personalization > Fonts > Font settings.

Click on Restore default font settings.

Restart your computer to apply the changes



Train how you intend to Fight

A few years ago I had this same type problem with a win 10 machine.

A hard reboot seemed to solve it and it never returned.

Thank you gentlemen, the reset default, followed by two hard restarts seems to have done it.

It looks like there was a stuck update in the system that finished loading, and that, together with the settings and restarts has resolved the issue.

I truly appreciate the help.
