"Installed" fonts not showing up in Windows Fonts folder

I did a windows update and somewhere they added a change to the way it installs fonts.  This update broke my powershell script that would update servers in the render farm.  What a nightmare :(.   Only way I got this to work was select all the fonts and right click to get the context menu to do the "install for all users".  I will start digging into the code to find a solution since i cant do updates on every server every time I add a font.  

"Install" only installs it for the current user and does not put it in c:\windows\fonts

"Install for all users" it works just like before and u have to be an admin for it to show up.

Thanks MS..

Hi Yasir,

Thanks for the prompt reply. I have seen this article but is that for Windows 10? My setup is different:

I can go to two different font settings:

1. Control Panel - Appearance and Pers. - Fonts:

2. Windows Settings - Personalization - Fonts

"

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click Fonts.
3. On the File menu, click Fonts to place a check mark.
4. On the File menu, click Install New Font.
5. To verify that fonts are being displayed, look in a folder that contains font files (such as the Windows\Fonts folder).

What File menu? Which check mark?

Thank you

With all respect, after 30+ years in IT systems development there is no way I'm going to delete my user account, nor re-install WIN10, nor delete and re-install fonts. MS has changed the rules and made it difficult for our mere souls to try and fix it. I know how to fix it, until the next update that will revert all again back to a "corrupt" state.  MS needs to have this sorted out. There are a zillion graphic artists who are stuck with WIN10 for other reasons - that is why Apple is the best for graphics designers... only!

Microsoft ????  What is your answer?  Is there anybody out there???

I found this issue with a lot of 1803 machines. 

One of my clients had a script that autoinstalls fonts into the Fonts directory. They're installed per the question but do not appear especially in Adobe products. 

What I had to do is as follows:

1. Uninstall the font from the Windows 10 Font menu
2. Then manually reinstall the front. 
3. Then the font should appear in the Windows Fonts folder.

There's two places to manage fonts now and they don't seem to talk to each other. 

It's incredibly broken and hopefully there's a better solution

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?
