Windows 10: Problem with language bar and Japanese

Hello!I'm trying to get the Japanese typing, specifically hiragana, to work on my Windows 10. My language bar looks very different from what I've seen and I don't know how to make the kana function work. All of the tutorials I've found on Google have different kind of language bar, one that I'm used to and I can't find any information about my issue.Instead of this:I have this:Would anyone happen to know if it's possible to get the other type of language bar or how to make the kana function work?- Aria

Japanese IME missing in language bar

Hello,

I have a problem with installing Japanese language to my PC. In the "Region and language" menu I have 4 languages present: English (US), Russian, Latvian and Japanese. However, my language bar (in tray) contains all but Japanese. It is missing and no way
to select Japanese. How can I get my required language?

Japanese is missing in language bar

Although in the "Region and language" menu I can see Japanese among others, in the language bar (in tray) I cannot see it. So I don’t have any chance to select Japanese. How can I get it?
