In the past, fonts in Windows have always been installed for all users. Have you ever wanted to use your own fonts from your account on a shared school or work PC, but couldn't because you didn't have the administrator privileges required to install the fonts? Well, we've heard your frustration about this and have made some changes.
In the section Font installation for non-admin users it says:
The explanation might be found in the Windows Blog in this article, talking about a Windows Insider Preview. He said, it's the case since Windows 10 version 1803.
Then I received feedback from German blog reader Martin Feuerstein who suggested that he read this in a recent blog post. Took me some time to realize…īrought me to publish a short German blog post about this. After the available updates are shown, choose “A” for all updates, “N” for no updates, or “S” for single update selectionĪfter performing the above, the updates will download and install.I don't work with Windows Server, but by chance I came across a tweet from Julian Mooren – who is struggling with the fact, that fonts are installed on a per user-base.ĭid you know that Windows Server 2019 is installing windows fonts on a per-user basis? Your previous install scripts will not work even when executed in SYSTEM context! I guess Windows 10 (1809) is affected as well.Choose “A” for all updates, or “R” for recommended updates, and a scan will start.Select option “6” to “Download and Install Windows Updates”.Run “sconfig” to launch the “Server Configuration” application.Open an Administrative (elevated) command prompt.This also works with Windows Server Update Services so you can use this method either connecting to Windows Update (Microsoft Update) or Windows Server Update Services (WSUS). You can use this method on all modern Windows Server versions: On Windows Server instances that have a GUI, I find it way faster and more responsive to just open an elevated (Administrative) command prompt, and kick off Windows Updates from there. If there was an easier alternative to perform this function, wouldn’t it just make sense? The GUI also creates additional overhead and clutter. I’ve seen this true on newer Windows operating systems where the Windows Update GUI stops updating and you just sit there thinking the updates are running, when they are actually all complete. Using a GUI is great, however sometimes it’s not needed, and sometimes it even causes problems if it looses the backend connection where it’s pulling the data from.
