Microsoft YaHei has been Windows' default Chinese font since Vista — ClearType-tuned, crisp at small sizes, and the go-to web font for Chinese pages.

On Windows open Settings - Personalisation - Fonts and delete the entry, on macOS remove it in Font Book. Fonts installed for the current user only can be deleted without admin rights and do not affect system rendering.
Microsoft YaHei is free for personal typesetting on mainstream systems. Commercial design, printing or embedding requires checking the vendor licence — some weights of Microsoft YaHei are personal-use only, so confirm on the official licence page before shipping work.
Unzip the Microsoft YaHei package to get .ttf or .otf files, right-click and choose Install for all users, then restart Word or WPS. Installing for the current user only means the font disappears when you switch accounts.
Check the file is a font rather than an archive, and that it installed into the right user profile. Look it up under Settings - Personalisation - Fonts on Windows, or Font Book on macOS, then restart the office app.
Microsoft YaHei installs on Windows 7 and later and macOS 10.13 and later; on Linux drop it into the font directory and refresh the fontconfig cache. Mobile only applies inside apps that allow custom fonts.
The full weight set of Microsoft YaHei is usually tens of megabytes and a single weight only a few. Installing only the weights you actually use keeps the footprint small with no effect on day-to-day typesetting.
