Windows 10 1803 has introducedfonts in the Microsoft Store. This required to allow a font to be installed for a specific user rather than system-wide. That’s why no admin action is needed when fonts acquired from the Store are installed.

This change meant that there now exist two repositories for fonts:

1. Fonts for all users, residing in folderC:\Windows\Fonts and listed in the registry at keyHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts.

2. Fonts for the current user, residing in folderC:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Fontsand listed in the registry at keyHKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts.

To list all fonts, you will need to query both registry keys that I listed above. For each font under one of the two registry keys, you will then know its folder.
