    To change the default device font in Windows 10, you typically need to use the Settings app. However, Windows 10 does not provide a straightforward way to change the system font for all elements directly through the personalization settings. You can change the font for specific elements like title bars, menus, and other UI components by modifying the registry, but this is not recommended for casual users due to the risk of system instability.

    Here’s a general approach to change fonts for specific UI elements:

    1. Open the Settings app: Right-click on the Start menu and select Settings.
    2. Go to Personalization: Click on Personalization and then select Fonts.
    3. Choose your font: Browse through the available fonts and select the one you want.

    If you want to apply a font change across the system, you may need to use third-party applications or modify the registry, which can be complex and risky. Always ensure to back up your registry before making changes.

    For a more comprehensive solution, consider looking into third-party customization tools that can help manage font settings more easily.

    Hi,

    In the case of all these sources, follow the procedure in this link:

    Remember the procedure and change in the registry and that a risk before any modification creates a restore point.
