Windows 10: Japanese IME can't convert Kana I dont see the IME icon

Hello.

Please help me, I can't get the Japanese IME to work. It doesn't display the little Icon "A" or "Ain hiragana" for me to switch between romaji and kana. It just types qwerty.

I've already tried everything:

-copy IME DIC files from another computer where it works

- Repair and reinstall dictionaries

- Reboot my computer multiple times

- Try to toggle and untoggle every possible option in language and region WHY ARE THESE OPTIONS SO SIMILAR yet they are in different places ughhh

-Installing Google IME I installed it and I could select either google jp ime nor microsoft jp ime


Two strange things that happened to me though:

Once the IME icon was displayed "IME is disabled" but I don't know how and why and I can't get it back

When I was typing in a software it started typing Japanese with the IME suggetions although I was on French keyboard. + Sometimes I'm on french keyboard it show FR But it starts typing in qwerty the japanese keyboard


Japanese and French are the only two keyboards I installed.

Thanks for your help

:)

 

Japanese IME Keyboard not typing in kana but just English

Hello,

I installed the Japanese IME keyboard a year ago, and it was working fine. I would type in the romanji and then the corresponding kana character would appear on screen. I could switch from English to kana at any time via the little
keyboard icon at the on the taskbar that looked like this "あ"
when it was on kana mode and "A" when it was on English mode. However, now when I switch try to switch to the Japanese keyboard it doesn't even show the kana icon "あ" just the English one.
I've tried re-installing and restarting my computer, but it does nothing. I eve tried going into advanced settings to play around with it, but nothing. I don't want to mess up my other computer settings, so I stopped trying to fix it myself.

I need help because I need this function for my studies.

 

Japanese IME not converting properly.

Hello.

Japanese IME was installed last week and it worked fine. This week, it was disable for some reason. Removed and re-installed. However, it is not converting correctly.

Here is me typing out the vowels: ち　に　な　い　ら　　(A, I, U, E, O) Those are not the correct kana for each vowel. But that's what is coming up.

What is going on? Please help me fix.

Thank you.

Japanese IME problem

On my Windows 10 1803 machine, I have installed Japanese IME but it allows only 'Half-width Alphanumeric'. I cannot for instance switch to 'Hiragana' ; right clicking the 'A' icon in system tray and clicking 'Hiragana' at the top of the list does change
the icon to the hiragana icon -- whatever I type remain alphanumeric. According to a few articles I have found on the internet, earlier versions of Windows 10 did not have this problem and this is a problem unique to 1803. Windows update 1803 with japanese keyboar - Windows Central Forums
says that turning OFF the 'Use kana input' switch under 'Hardware keyboard' in the 'Options' for 'Microsoft IME' under the 'Keyboard' will solve the problem. But on my computer the switch has been off all along. Fix Japanese IME after April 2018 update
advises to copy the files in C:\Windows\IME\IMEJP\DICTS from a pre-1803 machine to the same location on the affected 1803 machine and reboot. But I have not access to a pre-1803 machine with Japanese IME. Please help.
