The font in the Start Menu/Search is less readable on Win11 24H2 26100
The font in the start menu/search got changed on my Win11, and it is now less readable:
I wonder if this is a change in the recent build, a known issue, or something got broken on my side?
I'll appreciate your feedback!

Along with the Scaling one might have to reduce the Resolution/Display Setting a bit, especially on the larger monitors. Mine works great at 1920 x 1080 and Scaling of 150% on a 24" Dell monitor.

My font accessibility settings are fine, it is also not related to the resolution. I changed both and the problem still occurs.
Didn't notice it at first but a possibility of an issue is the install/use of Colormania.

It's not because of the ColorMania;
The issue does not occur in Windows Sandbox and on the freshly created user account.
I will be grateful for any ideas on how to fix it.
I already heave done the following:
sfc /scannow
dism /online /cleanup-image /checkhealth
dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
font-cache removal
Actual:
Expected:
Two ways to make things larger or smaller in a program's window, hold down the Ctrl key and roll the mouuse wheel back and forth or hold down the Ctrl key and press + or - .

Clearly one has anti-aliasing and the other has anti-aliasing missing/off in the areas you have highlighted.

Thank you all for the advises.
The culprit is the following service listed in the msconfig:
- Windows font caching service
Once I disabled the service autostart in msconfig, the font gets back to normal:
My only worry is if this service remains disabled, will it cause any other issues?
Or is there any other way to have the problem fixed?
