Windows 10: Japanese IME is disabled, nothing fixes it.

Hello,


When I try to press the small 'A' button on the lower right side of the task bar instead of changing to its hiragana counterpart when set to Japanese it displays a small x in a circle. When this circle is tapped it says "IME Disabled". I have tried reinstalling the Japanese IME and many other suggestions that I have found and none work. By some miracle last time I was able to fix it but when my laptop underwent another system update the problem arose again.


I would love any assistance on how to fix this reoccurring software issue that has taunted my peers, teachers and myself.




Thank you for your support.

:)

 

IME (Japanese) is disabled

Despite multiple efforts and hours of trying dozens of different threads, attempting to find a workable answer, IME is disabled, and I don't know the reason why. I only recently installed the Japanese IME, and from the moment I downloaded it, it would not
work. A small, grayed-out circle with an X through it appears in my Taskbar when I switch to the Japanese input, and I can only type in English characters. I cannot type phonetically, or get a single Japanese symbol to appear, despite having tried switching
to kana.

Naturally, I went in search of help, but I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Language packs, restarted my computer, and even tried switching to suggested settings, but none of it seems to work. I even checked my registry to make certain it looked correct.

I'm hoping that if I ask specifically, maybe someone would know how to fix this issue.

My laptop is an HP Pavilion running Windows 10. At the time I got it, it ran Windows 8.1, and I updated to 10 after I first booted it up.
