Summary


Details

Customers have reported seeing incorrect symbols/icons in their application's toolbar, as illustrated in the attached screenshot. This issue affects multiple users.


Solution

The issue occurs due to the "Untrusted Font Blocking" security setting first introduced in Windows 10. This setting, initially recommended by Microsoft, is designed to prevent the display of fonts deemed untrusted by the operating system. However, recent updates and security evaluations by Microsoft have led Microsoft to reverse this recommendation.

To resolve the incorrect symbol display issue, follow these steps to disable the "Untrusted Font Blocking" setting:

Access Windows Security Settings:

  • Open the Windows Settings by pressing Win + I.

    Navigate to Update & Security > Windows Security > App & Browser Control.

    Disable Untrusted Font Blocking:

    • Under Exploit protection settings, click on Exploit protection settings link.
      • Go to Program settings and choose Microsoft Solid Edge from the list.
        • Expand Font Settings and disable Use untrusted font blocking.

          Save Changes:

          • Click Apply to save the changes.

            Restart Your System:

            • Restart your computer to apply the settings.

              After disabling this setting, Solid Edge icons and symbols should display correctly in the toolbar. For more details on Microsoft's update regarding font security, you can refer to the Microsoft official whitepaper.

              This solution should address the problem of incorrect symbol display caused by the "Untrusted Font Blocking" security setting in Windows 10.
