Windows 10: IME freezing
Hi Everyone,
In my office, January 6 was the first day back to work from the winter holiday. Multiple "Windows 10 over Citrix" users in our Japan office reported that the Windows Japanese Input Method Editor (IME) was freezing. This freezing does not occur when typing with English keyboard input, but only occurs after switching to Japanese IME. A Windows restart may fix the issue, but the issue returned for some users. Not every user experiences the issue, so it is inconsistent.
A similar issue on Windows 8 with the same symptoms had occurred in the past:

Has anyone encountered a similar issue recently?
Could a recent Windows update have caused this issue?

It's possible that a recent Windows 10 update may have introduced a bug affecting the IME. You can check the Windows update history to see if any updates were installed around the time the issue began.
