Windows 10: Japanese Keyboard Will Not Work- Windows 10 1909

I cannot get the Keyboard to type Japanese characters in Windows 10. I've Installed the language pack, but when I try and select Hirangana as the font from the IME menu it does nothing. Or, there is just an "x" and it says "IME is disabled." See attached images: Additionally, when I go to Settings >language options, and try to manually download Basic Typing, Handwriting, or Speech, I get "Sorry we're having trouble getting this feature installed. You can try again later. Error code 0x800F0954." To try and fix this error code I did the following fix: Right-click Start, and click RunType rege

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
