Windows 10: Korean keyboard / IME not working correct. typing wrong characters

I just got a new PC couple weeks ago. OS Name: Microsoft Windows 10 Education. Version: 110.0.18363 Build 18363


I installed Korean in language setting and yet when I type in Korean keyboard setting it keeps typing wrong characters the whole time. It's really weird. It basically types random characters in Korean.

For instance, when I press "ddddddd" consecutively, this is how it appears in Korean keyboard setting"?". I am keep pressing the same "d" button, and yet it's typing random korean chanracters + symbols. Does anyone know how to fix this????

I've tried uninstall and installing the Korean language pack at least 10 times, tried with so many different settings and yet it doesn't seem to work.

Please help me

:)

Some problems in IME for Chinese and Korean

Microsoft IME for Chinese and Korean has some problem.

1. Touchscreen interface.

I use ChangJIe IME in touchscreen. ChangJie IME input is based on Chinese calligraphy and is not phonetic based. In most time, we can easily get only one candidate character. (For example, 倉＝人戈日口, no other candidates）. So, most time we don't need to select
character from candidate list. In real keyboard, we press "Space" instead of press number to select character. But somehow, touchscreen keyboard "DOESN'T" allow me to use space key to select character so I need to touch character in the list (even there only
one) and is very inconvenient. In Android or iOS uses "Space" to hit and select candidate key. If you understand some Chinese, try to see HK Microsoft community and many Hong Kong people complain this problem but seems they just say "We will improve"?

2. Also touchscreen keyboard, why keystroke appears in the input box? Example, assume we input 倉= 人戈日口(OIAR) so we need press 人戈日口(OIAR) but this will appear in the input box not above touchscreen IME so I need to move my eyes from top to bottom(Example
we use edge to try search something on the web so we need to type Chinese in the address bar) to see if there is any typo. In Android or iOS system keystrokes will appear at the top of the IME. This should be improved.

3. Why Chinese and Korean IME include English keyboard??

I understand most Korean and Chinese people can only speak one or two languages and their display language is also in either Korean or Chinese so therefore they don't need to frequently switch IME and they usually use "Shift" and "Left Alt" to switch English
input instead of use "Windows + Space" to switch different IME. But why don't you make an option allows Chinese and Korean IME doesn't allow to input English? It is VERY INCONVENIENT when I switch to different language and start to type, it shows English instead
of Korean or Chinese. in Mac OS, you know they use "Command + Shift" and each IME only has one language and doesn't have problem I just explained. I added "English" in language list to use English as displayed language so English IME also appears in the IME
list. This makes me to feel I have "Three" English keyboard plus Korean and Chinese keyboard. I'm so sad when I switch to different language and use "Backspace" to remove wrong characters and use "Shift" or "Left Alt" to change language again but I already
changed to different IME.

4. Character set for Changjie IME.

I was studying in Macau so I don't understand simplified characters at all but why those ugly simplified characters appear on the list of candidate keys? I found Microsoft Pingyin only shows Simplified Chinese characters so Changjie IME can eliminates simplified
Chinese characters. Pleased don't include all characters in Unicode Set of Changjie input but try to eliminate simplified characters in the database or make option to remove simplified characters which are useless for me.

 

Cannot type Korean

Hi Soo,

Welcome to our community.

This is Leocadia, an independent advisorr, and I am glad to assist you today.

We are sorry to hear about this inconvenience. Now, we would like to help you promptly. In fact, this is a very known issue.

We suggest you to follow the below method and check if it helps:

This will assume that:

You speak English

You want to use Windows in English

Sometimes you want to type in Korean.

If that describes you then this guide is for you. Just follow the easy steps. This works whether you actually have a physical Korean keyboard or not (if you don't, the right-alt key will be your 한/영 toggle).

Typing in Korean on Windows 10 (post-2017)

Note that my Windows is using the dark theme in these screenshots so yours will probably be white. Everything's the same though. Click these screenshot thumbnails for full-size views.

Step 1 Right-click on the keyboard icon in the taskbar. Ignore the fact that mine already has Korean in it.

If you don't see this, just tap the Start menu (or press the Windows key) and type "Region" to open the Region & Language settings.

Step 2 Inside the Region & Language settings, tap the large "+" to Add a language.

Step 3 Find "Korean" and tap "next"

Step 4 Do NOT check the "Set as my Windows display language" unless you want everything in Korean. Just tap Install.

Step 5 Wait while it downloads the Korean language pack.

Step 6 When it's done downloading, you'll see this. "Language pack installed"

Step 7 Scroll down to the link that reads "Advanced keyboard settings"

Step 8 In the "Override for default input method" section choose "Korean - Microsoft IME"

That's it! You're done. This setting will ensure that your computer uses the Korean MS IME keyboard, which includes both English and Korean. You don't ever need to use "English US Keyboard" again.

You can now switch between typing Korean and English either by pressing the right "Alt" key (next to your spacebar), or clicking the new keyboard language icon in the bottom-right of your Windows taskbar, or of course the 한/영 key if you have a physical Korean
keyboard.

I assume you know where the Korean letters are on the keyboard. If not you might want to play with the Windows 10 soft keyboard until you get comfortable

To summarize: After adding the language pack (which obviously the person asking this, go to Additional date, time, & regional settings, click Change Input Methods, click Advanced Settings, set the first two menus to English and Korean, respectively.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Thank you.
