Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

Change Language settings through Control Panel.

Method 2:

If an app or update that you recently installed caused problems with your PC, you can restore Windows back to an earlier point in time, called a restore point. System Restore doesn’t change your personal files, but it might remove recently installed apps and drivers.

Note: Windows automatically creates a restore point when you install desktop apps and new Windows updates, if the last restore point is older than 7 days. You can also create a restore point manually at any time.

To restore your PC to an earlier point in time

* Press Windows Key + R to open run command

* Type rstrui and hit Enter key.

* Select Recommended Restore or any other restore point and click Next

* Follow the instructions to restore your PC to earlier and see if it helps.

Keep us posted if you require further assistance.

Hi, RotemSharvit, Amir jkby:

The issue shown in the screenshote above appears to be an instance of the issue reported in the All Fonts are Missing topic. That should have been fixed in the 1511 or 1607 update, so I wouldn't expect it to occur in the Creators Update. Are you sure this is the issue you're seeing?

it's similar. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-other_settings/windows-10-creators-update-gibberish-in-some-apps/3afb363d-eaab-49df-a681-b999797fda41?auth=1

this is more the problem.

They may look similar at first glance, but they are actually very different -- both in root cause, trigger event, and effect. (The issue above occurred, for most cases I know of, after copying the Avenir Next fonts from a Mac to Windows.)

At any rate, if your issue is the same as in the "Gibberish in some apps" topic, then please follow up as needed in that topic.

The same Font gibberish happen to me after the Creator update.

My solution after a 1 hour or so troubleshooting, was to reinstalled my Comodo firewall with an updated version of my firewall.

You should uninstall or update Comodo firewall before or after the Creator update.

Here is a Link to another possible fix for the Font gibberish symptom.

My computer is displaying gibberish language everywhere on the screen. I am not even able to enter my password to log in.I don't know what to do, please suggest a solution.

I am not even able to go to control panel to change the settings.I am really annoyed by it.

Hi, Revant Varde

What build of Windows 10 are you running? (You can get that by running winver in the Run dialog, Win+R.) When did the symptom appear? Do you know what changes might have been made before that?

Are your symptoms like what is shown in the image that Elejunior provided at the start of this topic? Or are they more like what is show on this page? Or something else?

If your symptoms are like what is shown in the screenshot above, that would point to the issue reported in the All Fonts are Missingtopic. That should have been fixed in the 1511 or 1607 update, and I wouldn't expect it to occur in the Creators Update or Fall Creators Update.
