    Programs freeze up when I try to input using Japanese IME


    Hello, I don't really know how to open up so I'll just get straight to the point.

    As the thread title might suggest, every time I try to input Japanese text (Hiragana, Katakana/Kanji), the program freezes for some 3 seconds (give or take a second). Just to put everyone on the same page, WIN + Space to change the language and ALT + ~(tilde) to change input type.

    The problem is whenever I try to input Japanese text, the program would fall into [Not Responding] and snap back into [Responding], but I won't be able to change my input from the default Hiragana to literally anything else. I have no idea where to look and it's rather concerning since I kinda need that feature. It's really inconvenient.

    If anyone actually read this, thank you for your time and hopefully anyone can help me resolve this problem; it's really bugging me.

    I also found a similar thread on sevenforms but it had like 1 reply and it was back in 2010ish.

    Windows 10 IME Japanese stuck on romaji (直接) won't toggle to other inputs

    Hi Marilou,

    Thanks for the link, but it refers to a problem with writing with the Japanese IME in Word.

    My problem is more general/basic. I cannot even select the japanese inputs other than the romaji input (which is the same as the English keyboard). So whatever program I am trying to write in, the text is input with English characters, rather than Japanese
    characters.

    How to give keyboard priority in window 10

    That does not work on Windows 10. I have English (US) in the first, then Japanese in the second language. I overwrote the input method to Japanese (IME). The EN still comes up as a default input method when a system starts. Works perfectly on Windows 7.

    Where do I post a bug?

    I am having a more serious Japanese IME issue recently. Using chrome(web whatsapp mostly), the PC may freeze, or even BSOD when I switch IME Not sure if it is Japanese or the other IME. I have been using Google Japanese IME for years but I found that I am using MS Japanese IME when I checked. I have English, Chinese and Japanese IME installed. I have removed MS Japanese IME and switched to Google and see if it fixes the issue.
