Hi all. Can someone help with missing texts on my Win 10 desktop and folders? By missing text, I mean icon names on desktop, windows explorer, context menu, literally everything. The only thing that shows text beneath its icon is Widows Metro UI apps, and even some of those are not there. I tried to restart the system multiple times to no avail. Help anyone?

If the hotfix you have installed is not very critical for your computer then you may use the below mentioned steps for system restore -
The System Restore tool uses restore points to return system files and settings to an earlier point in time. You can use it to restore the operating system to a point in time in which you did not experience the issue.
Note: When you use System restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you installed are removed. It is possible that your hotfix files may get removed.
To do this, there must be a System Restore point at which the logon was successful. Follow the steps mentioned below to perform system restore –
To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:
-
Click Start Collapse this imageExpand this image, type system restore in the Start Search box, and then click System Restore in the Programs list.Collapse this imageExpand this image

-
In the list of restore points, click a restore point that was created before you began to experience the issue, and then click next .

Click Finish .
The computer restarts, and the system files and settings are returned to the state that they were in at the time that the restore point was created.
Hope this helps. Let us know the results.
