Carbo, what is your Operating System?

Carbo, what is your Operating System?

Considering his screenshot, I'd say windows 10.

I finally found it in Task Manager, under "Services", in Windows 10 Pro.

Name                  PID       Description                                          Status      Group

FontCache3.0.0.0                Windows Presentation Foundation Font Cache e.0.0.0   Stopped

Mine has a "manual" start type.

 

I found the file location.  The SS shows my file-sizes and dates.  That 9/26 must have been the major update after installation.  It looks like two files were updated or added after that.

 

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v3.0\WPF

I added this so that you could compare file-sizes and dates.

 

Search found no Dat-file as mentioned in Annibal's link.  No "font3*", but over 400 with "font" in their name, many in AMD64 and DirectWrite folders.  

 

There are two higher-numbered "\v  " directories in "NET\Framework64".  The last has the same 7/16/16 date as my win10 installation.  That folder has many, many "PresentationFramework.*.dll" files in it, but no ".exe" files.

 

This looks like an extremely complex system.  I would suggest that you only use tools provided by MicroSoft to try to fix the problem.

 

This reminds me that I have to make a disc-image of the OS.  

the file sizes are the same.

I already had that, but I never noticed the "click to permanently have access" when the "you can't access this right now" box popped up!  I found the *.dat file through the DOS-command prompt.   @ myself!

way faster with my way.. And once you know the path to these files, they're easily findable:

 

different and faster way yet, no matter if unhide option enabled or not.. Copy the path mentioned (%windir%\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local).. Press Windows key+R.. Paste the path in the search box and click OK.. And that's it.

3. Delete the old Fontcache3.0.0.0.dat file.

can't be more precise than that..

My dad got to know about it, and he sent it to a PC guy, he formatted the C drive, and everything was solved including corrupted system files and 30%usage, thanks for your, support. 

(..I don't know whether deleting would have helped, i would have tried it if my dad didn't take away my pc and give it to him...)

as long as your problem is solved that's all what counts! For the rest.. Anytime!

It is too bad that you didn't get to try the fix from Annibal's research.  I hope that the "PC Guy" was able to restore all of your programs, settings and data.  

 

I have never "nuked" a system.  I had better fix my laptop (HD failure) so that I can do research if this latest Desktop fails. Ahh...I do have my old Win7 SSD that I can plug in and use.    I had better also do OS-images!
