Windows 10 start menu and search menu is garbled

[Petru]

the descriptive words in start menu and search menu are missing, instead there are this weird characters; the icons look intact. Running SFC /SCANNOW did not solve issue.

Hello

When is the last time you did a malware scan?

I ran Malwarebyte.; did not solve issue.

Have you tried a restore to a previous date when the system was running correctly?
That is if you have system restore running.

Thanks, System Restore worked. Issue solved!

[Rustys]

Glad to hear that will mark as solved.
