Windows 10: Japanese Typing Displaying an IME Error

Hello,


When I try to type in Japanese and select the hiragana alphabet, the little icon next to the language is a little x in a circle. When hovering over it, it says "IME is disabled". The other language I have on their is Chinese, and I have no problems switching between writing in Chinese and writing in English. I tried to go to the control panel's language settings, but I don't see a language section. Any advice on how to fix this?




:)

 

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)

Japanese IME - How to have menus in English?

The default display language for the Microsoft IME is "Automatic", and occasionally it decides for whatever reason to change from English to Japanese or vice versa.
At any rate, you can correct the issue without removing any language packs via the following steps. I'm going to assume that your Windows display language is in English, but your IME is set to display in Japanese.

1. Navigate thus: Control Panel -> Region & Language -> Keyboards &
   Languages -> Change Keyboards
   
2. Highlight "Microsoft IME" under the Japanese (Japan) keyboard section of the "Installed services" list
   
3. Select "Properties"
   
4. Under the ""全股" tab, you will see an option at the bottom "メニューおよびダイアログで使用する言語" which is the IME display language option. Change this to "英語" (English) and save your changes (the buttons are in the same order as they are in the English UI, "Okay", "Cancel", "Apply", and "Help".
   

The next time you reopen the IME in the language bar, it should display in English.
