On Windows 10, you can change the default system font, but to perform this task, you now need to modify the Registry.
In previous versions, such as on Windows 7, you're able to access the personalization settings to change the system font for various desktop elements, including the font for File Explorer, icons, title bars, menus, message box, and more, but starting with Windows 10, the option has been removed, and you're now stuck with the default family font.

Unfortunately, the app crashes when you are adding fonts to a folder and then attempt to switch to a different folder. Apple’s Notes app isn’t the only player in the note-taking field, not by a longshot. Evernote’s OS X app lets you choose a default font and size for new notes, and also offers much simpler.
However, if you're looking to change the default 'Segoe UI' font, you can still complete this task making some modifications to the Registry.
