Cause

Keeping it short, this issue is caused by a faulty .Net Framework 4.7.1 update.

And if looked deeper, this shows up:

No FontFamily element found in FontFamilyCollection that matches current OS or greater: Windows7SP1

It means that the problem is related to a missing font resource.

Solution

Microsoft released a fix for this bug, you can take a look here:

Basically, you'll have to uninstall the faulty update or you'll have to run a tool to fix the issue for you..
