Windows 10: Set Japanese IME to hiragana by default

Is there any way to make hiragana input the default in Japanese IME? I know that there are keyboard shortcuts but that is not the answer. This issue has been described in more detail at: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/japaneses-ime-in-hiragana-by-default/9eac7cb4-f28d-4fa2-a040-c081697d0928#windows

Can't type hiragana on Japanese IME keyboard after updating to Windows 10

Microsoft support suggests that you can use the hotkeys
to switch between input modes quickly:

• Press + to change the input language
• Press + to change to Hiragana
• Press + to change to Katakana
• Press + to toggle between alphanumeric and kana modes

As a side note: if you were really intent on making Hiragana your default input, you could write an
AutoHotkey script to do this for you. However, this involves understanding that scripting language.

Changing Microsoft IME language input default. It doesn't to default to Hiragana in Japanese.

I installed windows 10 with an English keyboard and activated Microsoft IME for Japanese but every time I switch from English to Japanese the input mode is japanese alphanumeric and I always have to select hiragana to type in japanese.

Hiragana is already set as the default input mode under IME preferences but it still never comes up first. There was solution for windows 7 but settings were different for windows 10.

I'd appreciate it if anyone who knows could help me solving this problem.

 

Japanese IME - default mode

Why is there no way to set default mode to input romaji into hiragana? I hate switching keyboards and then having to press ALT+~ to switch between hiragana and the useless English keyboard mode. I do not want to type in English when I am using the Japanese
keyboard mode. WHY CAN'T I SET HIRAGANA AS DEFAULT?
