I have Japanese users in my group and once win 10 1803 is installed the language pack fails to work properly

Tried the install on a fresh install and it also does not work. Any ideas other than rolling back which I am doing as we speak - still this can't be left broken.

  • Since version 1803 isn't being automatically pushed until 8 May 2018, I assume that you are testing this build for capability? This isn't the first Super User post we have seen regarding keyboard language issues related to the 1803 release. In a worst-case scenario, you can always configure your machines to defer the update.

Copy C:\Windows\IME\IMEJP\DICTS from a non 1803 machine. It completely resolved the issue for me.

For whatever reason, the 1803 update jacked up the Japanese dictionary -- thus it didn't know what characters to type.
