According to the company, some Input Method Editor (IME) may become unresponsive or may have high CPU usage. This issue mainly affects systems with Chinese Simplified (ChsIME.EXE) and Chinese Traditional (ChtIME.EXE) with Changjie/Quick keyboard.
As Microsoft stated:

Seek help. I’ll pray you find it.

How sad .
Can you like…. STFU?
No, they just fired all competent people and that is why, I am actually about to sell my PC Parts lmao . And you know Apple, could win the OS war at this point, ah well, I guess they don’t like money…
Lol Linux didn’t win that battle so far, even for gaming using the new Vulkan API, let alone Apple’s Mac OS..
Linux is Linux, if Apple installation was as easy as windows or was as easy as it actually is for the avg user, what do you think?
More users, you get it . More, everything, really tbh .
Oh and I am back on my Computer, going to go Windows (Desktop) and Laptop (Mac OS), It works, hopefully also get a RVII for Final Cut Pro and eGPU !!

but you’re a dude because your name is Noctuah.
Three cute girls said I look like a MALE Ariana Grande . I think you misunderstood me .
You know what, Can Apple just release their OS openly? I AM FUAKING FED UP . Honestly WHAT THE FUAk are WE doing HERE?
We need to really spam Apple, we need to get this trending on Twitter, that we are ready for WAR, for Windows to be under threat, for Apple to take over, bc THIS FUAKERY has to END .
Enjoy what you help alllow to be .
Honestly, Fuak you, Fuak you all . No Passion whatsoever . How Powerless, .
Honestly…
Maybe, because diversity and non-straight is the future of the company

I get faster encodes on linux and i’m just kind of coming to the point where i’m done with Windows after 7 they got rid of their quality control center and it really shows. Besides gaming W10 does nothing good compared to Linux besides just “working” and that is even starting to fade…..I used to defend Microsoft i loved 7 to death and wasn’t a major hater on 10 but it’s just getting harder to defend.
