Windows 10: Japanese IME pop up in Top Left corner of the screen

First of all: I know there's already a thread about it, but with no answer not amazed and locked. I'm in hopes that, since 2018, someone was able to come up with a solution.Basically, the normal behavior when typing in japanese is to show the predictive pop up bellow the text, but what's happening is that it's showing up on the top left corner of the screen, which is abnormal.I noticed that if I start a new file the pop up will show properly, but if I open the file that I was already working on and was working perfectly it will display the incorrect behavior.Does anybody know how to fix this

:)

 

Japanese IME predictive pop up in Top Left corner of the screen

When typing with the Japanese IME keyboard, the text appears in the top-left corner of the screen instead of where the cursor is. This only happens with some apps. e.g. in Word the text appears at the cursor, but in SMART Notebook the text appears in the
top-left corner. On computers with multiple monitors it may even appear in the top-left corner of a different screen to where the app is.

 

Japanese IME predictive pop up in Top Left corner of the screen

Hello everyone!

Last night I went to bed while Windows was getting updated. However, this morning when restarting windows as usual, after the update, I discovered that when typing in Japanese with the Japanese IME keyboard that I have been using for ages, it started behaving
in a way in which I had to, literally, stop using it.

Normal behaviour: when typing with the Japanee IME keyboard, the predictive options appear right below the text input.

Weird behaviour: when doing the same, the predictive popup options appear in a window located in the TOP LEFT position of the screen.

I just can't get used to it because I started feeling dizzy moving my eyes over and over again from the text input to the corner of the screen.

I tried uninstalling and installing again the keyboard. No changes.

I decided disabling text prediction, but still, when I push space key twice to select another kanji, the options available appear again in the top left corner.

Does anyone know how to handle this situation?

I type in Japanese on a daily basics because I have to, and now I am stuck using Google translate service to type whatever with their japanese keyboard tool and then copying and pasting to the place when I need that text to be. It is REALLY troublesome and
slow. And of course using instant messaging with my partner seems impossible and now I have to use English with him just because this issue.

Please help ><

I don't understand the relation between Japanese IME keyboard and drivers. I am not talking about a real keyboard, like physical keyboard, I am talking about the "software" available in windows to type in Japanese. That is just software.

Also, the popup window showing predictive text is related to software as well, the operating system determines where to show the pop up when the Japanese IME software tries to show that popup. And it determines to show it far from the text field. Again how
is that related to drivers.
