link6155 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 After the recent Windows 10 Build 9860 update, my computer now seems to have an issue displaying some letters. For example, the new Action Center shows up as " oficitation" (missing the letter N). I can't see what I'm typing on any website and in the search bar. Here is what the Neowin Homepage looks like to me: In fact, I'm not even sure if I'm typing this correctly or posting this in the right section. Does anyone else have this issue or does anyone know how to fix this?

Does anyone else have this issue or does anyone know how to fix this? I have the same problem . I cannot see what I am typinng as it is just a pile of crap. When I go to my email and scroll down my favorites the list just disappears.. This is happening on Firefox and Internet Explorer. Funny, the second line I am typingn is coming in readable.

Mr Smith Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 An update was issued shortly after build 9860. Just go and check for the update then restart your pc. This should fix everything for you.

wahoospa Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 LINK1645, if you put your mouse next to the first letter of a line and press the left button and move it just a tad to the right as if you were copying the typed line will come in. I had to use my Windws XP laptop to get on here because everything in unreadable with Windows 10.. On 22/10/2014 at 01:32, Boo Berry said: Just install the update from Windows Update and reboot.

Looks like you have some third party stuff installed (why does your start button look weird?) Get rid of that and see if the issue goes away.

wahoospa Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I went to the Windows update in the control panel and it installed an update that took care of the problem. All is OK now. Siah1214, that is the Classic Start Menu. It had no effect on it. This is one of the ways it can look: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1233929-windows-10-technical-preview-build-9860-font-issue/#findComment-596622249 Share on other sites More sharing options...
link6155 Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 So I rolled back to the first public build of windows 10, but now keeps saying there isn't a new build available. Is there a link to the .epd update file or some other method I can use to force it to install?

What's the point of your comment? It doesn't solve anything and it's just assumptions. I said that I rolled back to the first public build, which means I have nothing installed except for updates and drivers. Themes only changes the appearance of windows, it does not prevent you from receiving updates. I fixed it anyways by doing a fresh install of Windows 10 from the iso and removing all apps (but keeping personal files).
