Now when you right-click on a font file in File Explorer, you’ll see two options. Now we’ve extended this further to include font files that you obtain from other sources and want to install. That’s why no admin action is needed when fonts acquired in the Store are installed. To enable that capability, we needed to make changes deep in Windows to allow a font to be installed for a specific user rather than system-wide. In the Windfeature update, we introduced fonts in the Microsoft Store. If you’re a non-admin user and often need to install (or uninstall) fonts, then that could be a big hassle. If you tried to install a font but didn’t have admin privileges, then you would be presented with a User Account Control dialog, so that an admin could approve the change. For example, if you browse in File Explorer to a folder containing a font file and right-clicked on the file to bring up the context menu, then the “Install” option would appear with the security badge, which means that it requires an admin. The need for an admin was reflected in the user interface. Because that is a system-wide change, it always required admin privilege. 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.
