    Problem solved, ctrl+shift+F key was the Simplified/Traditional Chinese input switch, accidentally pressed the key combination.

    Hi Yiyang,

    Thank you for posting, I am here to help. The most likely reason is that the Microsoft Pinyin keyboard's shortcut to toggle between Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

    To fix this follow this steps:

    In the "Language & region" settings, find "Chinese (Simplified, China)" under "Preferred languages," and click on "Language options." Next, under "Keyboards," click the three dots next to your current input method and select "Remove." After that, click "Add a keyboard" and add your preferred Simplified Chinese input method again.

    I hope you find this information helpful. If you need more help please feel free to let me know.

    Best regards,

    Jansher
