Windows 10: Japanese basic typing installed but not IME Keyboard

Hello everyone,I would like to install Japanese keyboard IMESO I installed the Japanese language, you can find attached the list of languages installed.However, as you can see on the attached second screenshot, Japanese typing method does not appear.This problem does not come from "basic typing" which is of course installed, but I think it comes from there 3rd attached screenshot.Indeed, when I click on "Add a keyboard" to add IME, there is no option.Of course I uninstalled the language, restarted, switched languages, everything for an hour.However it still doesn't work.Could you please

Installed Japanese Keyboard but unable to type in Japanese

I've just installed the Japanese keyboard but I'm unable to type in Japanese despite the installation and switching to the keyboard. I've tried using the older version on Microsoft IME, reinstalling the language, restarting my computer after the installation and updating Windows OS

 

Japanese typing mode [A] and Japanese typing mode [あ] of Japanese IME don't show up on the bar menu.

Hi Seizen,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We reproduced the issue on our lab machine and we were able to get the Japanese IME with both Japanese typing mode.



As per your screenshot, we see that the English (United States) US keyboard is highlighted in blue. What happen when you select and highlight Japanese Microsoft IME?



What is the KB number of the Windows update installed, prior to this issue? (Settings>Updates & Security>Windows Updates>View update history)



Meanwhile, we would suggest you to perform these methods and let us the status of the issue after every method.

   Windows Settings.

3. Scroll down and click on Advanced keyboard settings
   
4. Click on Language bar option and select the
   Language bar tab.
   
5. Select the radio icon beside Docked in the taskbar and check the box beside
   Show text labels on the Language bar.

Method 2: Remove Japanese language.

1. Press Windows + I key to launch
   Windows Settings.
   
2. Click on Time & Language and select
   Region and Language from the left pane.
   
3. Click on Japanese IME under Languages and select
   Remove.
   
4. Restart the PC and then repeat step 1 and
   2.
   
5. Click on the + sign beside
   Add a language and then select Japanese to install it back.
   
6. Check if the issue persist

Typing using a Japanese keyboard - windows 10

I have an English version of Windows 10 installed but have a Japanese keyboard. Whatever I do with the language settings it appears that I am unable to type using the keyboard in Japanese mode - suggesting words when you press the spacebar (not the tab
key), switching between single and double byte using the extra key to do so, etc. Using IME I can type using the Tab key to suggest changes but it's totally different from the way a standard keyboard works in Japan.

Is there anything I can do or do I need to install a Japanese version of Windows?

Everything I can find when searching tells me about IME but nothing about getting a Japanese keyboard working.

Thanks,

Mike
