Neal Chen 21

my ime jp keyboard default input mode got force to be english characters after a certain windows 10 update recently
looks like this:

and it should be like this everytime I switch to jp input in a new process or windows

I tried to find the solution on google so hard but in vain

this is the most closed solution to my current situation:

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-desktop/microsoft-ime-japanese-default-input-mode/673ff540-7631-44a5-8923-c71953a40e60

but obviously it doesnt work under windows 10

so now everytime I switch to jp input, I have to change the input mode to hiragana by myself EVERY SINGLE TIME,

which is driving me crazy, someone please help.

If you're reading this: You're not alone ;)

I've created an entry for this in the Microsoft Feedback-Hub (the app on windows 10). If you like, go and vote it up, so Microsoft will finally hear us: https://aka.ms/AAd9ar0

There is an older entry, too. It can't hurt to vote up both, right: https://aka.ms/AAb95f7

Hi,

I have replicated your issue in my environment. It might be known issue of Microsoft IME in recent Windows update. There is still a known issue when using the Microsoft Japanese Input Method Editor (IME) even in the latest Window update January 12, 2021—KB4598242 (OS Builds 19041.746 and 19042.746)

Below article list some issues when using Microsoft IMEs and also provids some workarounds. Maybe you can have a try.

Thanks,

The workaround "use previous version of Microsoft IME" does help.
Thank you so much.
