Windows Missing native font on particle effects

[Will]

Hello,
I'm trying to run the code below, but it looks like some native GM font is missing.

// step event
if (keyboard_check_pressed(ord("1"))) {
    effect_create_above(ef_explosion, mouse_x, mouse_y, 1, c_yellow);
}

All ev_ effects have the same problem.

I tried to update the system fonts and reinstall GM, but it didn't solve the problem.

Current Runtime: 2.3.4.440
Windows 10 Pro

Thks!

So when you call the explode effect, you get text instead of the effect? And have you tried clearing the project cache? Use the broom icon at the top of the IDE... As the issue LOOKS like a caching issue. If that doesn't solve it, can you give a little more information? Specifically what platform this is being tested on, and also if any of the other effects work other than the explosion?

The issue was resolved after a reboot and installation of GM update 2.3.4.442.

Thks!
