Windows 10: Windows 10 Japanese IME is not working

Previously I used ALT+SHIFT to change between English and Japanese IME. Then, I used SHIFT+Capslock to switch between input modes in Japanese i.e. Hiragana, Katakana etc.None of these work all of a sudden.I have tried re-installing the Japanese language using powershell. It seemingly installs correctly, but I still couldn't use the above hotkeys to switch to it. I would click on the ENG button and manually switch to Japanese IME and get the "A" symbol, but I couldn't use SHIFT+Capslock to switch to hiragana and actually type Japanese.

Windows 10: Japanese IME Not Working

Windows Current Version: Windows 10, 1909 18363.592

The Japanese IME used to work and now it doesn't. It had stopped working a few OS versions back. I have tried reinstalling by removing the Japanese language pack and installing back again. When I select (winkey+space), I see the IME icon, but the method (A) is missing.

I have removed all the language packs inside the IME folder and tried to install the Japanese again. Windows says it has successfully installed the language pack; however, when I look inside the IME folder, all I see is the English pack. Another thing I had tried is to copy and paste an existing IME folder from a different Windows 10 pc , but that doesn't work either.

I think the issue is that IME isn't fully installed even though it doesn't give me an error when I install it.

This is what I have inside my IME folder.




Missing method (A) icon.
