How To Change Windows 10 Default Font

Windows 10 has disabled settings to change the system font type or size. I am not talking about installing new font for using in Microsoft Word. The font you find in right click context menu, task bar and everywhere in Windows system.
The older versions of Windows allow you to change the system font settings easily from control panel. But the updated Windows builds have completely disabled it.
