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.

 

Korean keyboard layout changed

Hi,

Thank you for the update.

Did you try changing the keyboard layout after reinstalling the language?

Please press Windows key + Spacebar to switch to the keyboard you desire. You can see a list of keyboard layouts available after pressing the Windows key + Spacebar and there select the Korean keyboard and check if the issue persists.

Please get back to us so that we can resolve your issue at the earliest.

 

Cannot type Korean

Thanks for reply but I still cannot type Korean even if I followed all the step you listed.

I can see the change of language at task bar when I click ALT.

But only I can type is alphabet even "Han (in Korean)" is shown at task bar.
