Rebuild Font Cache in Windows 10

Font Cache works the same way as Icon Cache, and Windows operating system creates a cache for fonts to load them faster and to display them to the interface of the app, Explorer etc. If for some reason the font cache is corrupted then the fonts may not appear properly, or it starts displaying invalid font characters in Windows 10. To resolve this issue, you need to rebuild the font cache, and in this post, we will see how to do that.
