match font in photoshop not finding fonts I have installed

Trying to identify a font from a screenshot using Match Font. It suggests things but never the fonts already on my Windows 10 machine, even ones I'm pretty sure are right. Do I have to sync them somewhere first?

Match Font can only suggest fonts Photoshop can actually see, and it leans hard on Adobe Fonts by default. In the Match Font dialog untick the option to show fonts available to activate from Adobe Fonts, then it only compares against what's on your machine. If your own fonts still don't show up, check how they were installed. On Windows, right click the font file and pick Install for all users instead of plain Install, then restart Photoshop. Even with all that it's hit and miss on script and very decorative fonts, so treat its suggestions as a starting point.
