The issue at hand this time is display related. Machines affected by the issue display garbled or entirely unreadable text.
The screenshot below shows how the Settings application may look like on a system that is affected by the bug.
Errors seem to have appeared first in the Foobar 2000 application but it did not take long before users reported that fonts were broken in web browsers such as Chrome or internal system applications such as the Settings application.
The most likely explanation for the garbled font issue is that it is a font fallback issue. Windows uses font fallback options when it cannot display a certain glyph because of the font that is used.
