Windows – Text and Labels missing in windows control panel

control-panelwindowswindows 10

I have been facing a weird issue since a month. I couldn't find any solution on the internet which makes me think that the problem is unique to me. The text and labels for the options have disappeared. Only the icons can be seen in the control panel. Although when I place the mouse in the areas where the text is usually present, it shows a kind of selection box but I still can't see the text. It has become invisible.

I recently updated my windows to windows 10 thinking that the problem will be solved. But the issue is still present. It has become impossible for me to manage the settings. Can someone help me with this?

Control Panel is an important asset. McAfee scan does not show the presence of any virus. I feel this has something to do with the settings. Please Help.
