    There is no native method in Windows to change or reset the system font, that requires you to edit the registry.

    Before I can provide you with a solution, what method did you use previously to change the system font and do you want to revert the Windows 11 UI system font to its original font.

    To change the system font in Windows 11, you typically need to adjust the settings through the Control Panel or Settings app. However, Windows does not provide a direct option to change the system font through the user interface. You can change the font settings by modifying the registry or using third-party applications, but these methods can be complex and may require caution to avoid system issues.

    Here are the general steps to change the font settings:

    1. Open Settings: Press Windows + I to open the Settings app.
    2. Personalization: Navigate to the "Personalization" section.
    3. Fonts: Select "Fonts" from the sidebar to view available fonts.
    4. Registry Editor (if necessary): For advanced users, you can change the system font by editing the registry. This involves navigating to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts and modifying the font entries. Caution: Editing the registry can cause system instability if not done correctly.
    5. Restart: After making changes, restart your computer to apply the new font settings.

    If you're looking for a simpler way to change fonts, consider using third-party software designed for font management.
