Font error and blank returns after Windows 10 upgrade.

vinparker
Level 1

We just upgraded 2 computers from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Both machines now receive an error about fonts changing when launching ProSeries. When opening any return the text fields are all blank and the only thing I see is the editable fields. I have listed the steps I have taken so far (in no particular order) but nothing has helped the situation.   

1. Reset default fonts in W10 

2. Installed all fonts from Windows 7 

3. uninstalled Proseries, renamed c:\Proseries18 folder and reinstalled after a reboot (twice). 

4. Checked all scaling and display resolution settings, set all at default values.

Any other ideas?

Two sticks of dynamite?

Have you tried running an update of the software after it has been installed?

I've been dealing with some odd Upgrade issues, and this topic has helped:

The DSIM step and then the sfc step seem to take care of things. Right now, I am working with a 2nd gen i7, and I am going to use these steps on it, after I finish removing old W7 programs, such as Skype 7.4 still exists, along with the Skype embedded into W10.

So it seems this may just be a Fonts issue, here is an article that may come of use https://accountants-community.intuit.com/articles/1858901 

Let me know if that works!
