Windows 10: Using a Keybind to switch from Hiragana to Katakana.

I've been using the Japanese Ime for around two years with no issues, Last night there was an update my computer installed and now I can no longer switch from hiragana input to katakana input by hitting Alt+Capslock, What changed, how can I revert this?

Switching between English, Hiragana and Katakana inputs in Windows10.

I have been studying Japanese online, making notes and flash cards on my laptop. In Windows 7, the toggle between English, Hiragana and Katakana was complicated enough, often wondered why you have to know which input you are currently in to predict the results
of one of the multiple key strokes used. Shouldn't there be a way to reach English with one combo, Hiragana with another and Katakana with third regardless of which input mode you are currently in?

Now I upgraded to Windows 10, the system is similar, but now youget 日本, kanji symbol for Japan, in the task bar, but no way of telling before you start typing, whether you get Hiragana, Katakana or the Romaji input for Japanese text. Sure, sometimes,
yes, sometimes, a little cloud appears at the cursor, showing a letter in one of those inputs. Even worse, the computer sometimes switches from my Google Japanese to Microsoft Japanese, I guess result of my fumble finger typing.

Just curious, there must be a reason, why windows and google chose such a complicated system?

Shortcut key for switching between hiragana and katakana mode in japanese IME?

I accidentally mis-clicked shift+caps lock which changes between hiragana and katakana. Happy mistake Is there a way to mark my own response as the answer?
