Pixelated font in Creative Cloud Desktop App

I'm using Creative Cloud Desktop App on Windows 10 and the font being used for its interface is thin and quite honestly, ugly.  It looks more like dot-matrix than vectors.  Any way to make them look better? You can see the menu itself (File Window Help) is fine, but below it... ick.

 

Thanks for any help,

--Erik

 

P.S. And the topic selection isn't helpful here.  No way to choose/create a topic of "Interface/Appearance"

Luckily, all I needed to do was the first step, the resetting of the app.

Thank you for the assistance!
