Windows 10: I am trying to install Chinese basic typing, and it doesn't want to install?

I installed the Chinese language pack on my only one-month old computer, and when I try to install the "basic typing", the "handwriting", the "text-to-speech" and the "basic speech recognition", it installs in a second because they are all 1 megabyte, then 2 seconds later, the download button appears again. What type of mess is this? This is a new computer as well so why is Windows having this weird issue?I can't even upload an image on this stupid website because it keeps "failing to upload".

I can't type chinese

Hi, kenny kee1

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

We understand that you’re unable to type Chinese characters in Windows despite having the Chinese language installed, there could be a few reasons for this issue. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and resolve the problem:

1. Check Language Settings:
   
   • Press Windows + I to open Settings.
     
   • Go to > Time & LanguageLanguage
     
   • Ensure that Traditional Chinese (or Simplified Chinese, depending on your preference) is added and set as one of your languages.
     
   • Click on the Chinese language and make sure it’s set as the default, if you want to use it all the time, or make sure it’s listed under ‘Preferred languages’.
     
2. Add a Chinese Keyboard:
   
   • In the settings, click on the Chinese language.Language
     
   • Under , click .OptionsAdd a keyboard
     
   • Choose the Chinese (Traditional) or Chinese (Simplified) keyboard layout that matches the characters you want to type.
     
3. IMF (Input Method Framework) Issues:
   
   • If the Traditional Chinese IMF is not ready, it could be due to a corrupted language pack or an issue with the IMF itself.
     
   • Try removing and reinstalling the Chinese language pack:
     
     • Go to > > > Time & LanguageLanguageChineseOptions
       
     • Click on Remove and then reinstall it from the option Add a language
       
   • Ensure that the Chinese Input Method Editor (IME) is installed and selected as the default IME for Chinese.
