Chinese character font style

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both traditional and simplified Chinese in my Windows settings. I have checked my font settings in Chrome and there are no options for fonts in languages different from the UI/System language, which in my case is English. This issue persists in some apps (such as Discord) but does not persist in other browsers such as Firefox or Opera. I do not have any custom fonts installed for Chinese. I am on Version 4 Build 19044 of Windows 10 and running the latest versions of Google Chrome (Version 1.114) and Discord (Stable 138254 (8e7d809)).
