Windows 10: Can't type Japanese characters in any apps.

For whatever reason, when I try typing Japanese in apps, my text isn't converted to Hiragana. I can type in apps fine after reinstalling the language up until I restart my PC. After restarting, the only place my text is converted to Hiragana is in the Windows search bar. As far as I know, the IME is working fine, though I may be wrong.

Switching Japanese Windows with English menus

Yes, I do mean those keys. I tried just switching to Japanese keyboard, as you suggested, but those keys didn't work. Also, the selection key is normally the spacebar in Japan but I could only get IME to work with the Tab key (for those who aren't familiar with Japanese typing: you type in Roman characters, then press a selection key and it steps you through a list of options for the word you are typing in Japanese characters). Did you get the special keys to work as they do in native Japanese mode?

It may well be that I was missing something, although I did try every option I could think of. In any event, as I said, I gave in and now have Japanese Windows running with English menus and everything seems to be working perfectly.
Thanks,

Mike

 

Getting Japanese characters to display

In Windows 10, I was able to switch between the English and Japanese simply by clicking on the ENG icon in my various Office products (Word, PowerPoint, etc.) Now, however, the icon is gone and the ability to get Japanese characters to display has vanished.
My computer says I have the Japanese IME language pack, but I can't get it to work. Has anyone else had this problem in Windows 10? Any suggestions?

 

Couldn't type hiragana/Japanese character in the lockscreen

Because i have literally nothing to do today, i decided to mess with the lockscreen settings and changed the password. The thing is, i set my password to a Japanese Character (Hiragana). I went ahead to test the lock by locking the pc and turning it back
on. Went ahead and pressed sign in and voil , i just noticed that i can't type hiragana in any sort of way in the lockscreen. There's a Japanese IME option in the right hand corner of my screen that i usually use to type japanese, but now, it won't let me
type in hiragana, only romaji. So now I've been stuck in this lockscreen for around 16 hours with no answer.

Any thoughts on a way to type hiragana in the lockscreen?

Thanks
