Windows 10: Setting Chinse IME off by default in Chinese locale, without changing the Keys like Shift.

We are updating our application to support Chinese locale. For that for some control we need to Set IME mode ON, so that, Chinese input should be possible and or all other control writing language support should be English. But when I start my application, for controls which do not have IME support Only Chinese is bale to type. But in some machines possible to type English. So I wish to know whether Can I set the IME mode as off when the OS is rebooting before my application is starting.

Windows 10 Hardware 'Shift' key is disabling Chinese IME

Added chinese(simplified) keyboard layout in windows 10, and by default after reboot chinese keyboard layout will enabled for all applications. Internally, chinese keyboard has Key combination CTRL+Shift to switch between english and chinese (Pinyin).

The problem here is the key Shift from Hardware keyboard also works as language switch from chinese.

i.e. it disables the chinese IME

Please help, how to stop this behavior?

 

Windows 10 Hardware 'Shift' key is disabling Chinese IME

While in the Chinese Input Method, pressing Shift will switch between
Chinese mode and English mode, which is undesirable for some people.

This behavior can be changed in Windows 10 as follows:

• Open Settings > Time & Language > Language
  
• Under Preferred languages, select your Chinese flavor
  
• Once expanded, click Options
  
• Under Keyboards, select your input method (ChangJie / Quick / PinYin / etc.)
  
• (Here is where I'm running blind You should have a Mode Change Key or
  Mode Switching or similar. Change "Shift" to "None".
  

Here is a screenshot I located on the Internet, as I'm not using Chinese:

 

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.
