Why Visual Studio 2015 IDE switches Editor font from my own choice to its default (Console)

I'm experiencing a strange behavior when Visual Studio (2015) occasionally switches from my own choice of Editor font (Courier New) to its default (Console). Did not find and did not notice a specific scenario when it happens. It just happens, after some time (could be less than an hour after I return my own choice, could be longer). Could anyone suggest a solution for this?

Thank you in advance.

    Hi @croxx ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

    Please have a try with the workarounds above from Viorel-1.

    In addition, you can also try to install the Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 and launch your VS in safe mode.

    Sincerely,
    Anna
