"Installed" fonts not showing up in Windows Fonts folder

Thanks for the solution, Sean. This worked a treat!

I started experiencing this problem today, right after I've just spent two days doing a completely clean and updated installation of W10 Pro on my machine. Today is my first day using the machine for work again, and I'm utterly bemused to have experienced such a ridiculous issue. Especially considering that MS have been aware of it for over 6 months and have chosen to completely ignore it.

MS Admins; I work in a creative industry and being able to quickly install and activate fonts, without having to delve into the command prompt every time, isn't even REMOTELY optional for me. When are you going to sort this out?

Thanks for your solution. And glad that it worked for you. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me.  Like nothing else did so far.

My workaround for 4 months: Create an outline of a font in illustrator on my MacBook, then copy the file to my windows machine. Luckily I don't need to do it that often, can't imagine all the designers who have this issue on a daily basis. Not surprising that they all switch to Macs.

@Microsoft. If you really care about your customers, please put this issue on your bug list. I really hope that it doesn't take another 6 months for you to solve this.

Thank you

Yeah. I thought I was being really clever by switching from Mac to PC and saving a few quid. But this is just the latest in a long line of infuriatingly tedious bugs. As much as I loathe giving any money to Apple, I don't really see what choice I have if I don't want to have to keep pissing off my clients.

As of lately,  fonts are installed in the "C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts" folder - does not matter CUT, COPY, or PASTE or whatever, the font does not move to the Windows/Fonts folder.  It creates a Deleted folder  in the "C:\Users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts" folder, copy the previous installed font in the Deleted folder and "overwrite" the previously installed font.  About all Graphics apps does not see this MS../font folder.

I have the same problem. The only solución i found is to copy the Fonts folder from C to say the desktop. On the desktop you can see all fonts. In my case after moving the folder I could see all the files from C:\windows\fonts and also the files from the Fonts folder on the desktop. 

I did this and on the desktop fonts folder I see all my fonts. HOWEVER this doesn't help me as they are still unavailable in Word, etc.

Try right clicking on the font and selecting the "install for all users" option, I work on an office computer where I am not the only user, so this was for some reason my issue, as I was having the exact same issue as you, maybe this is the solution?
