Impact: Keyboard shortcuts might cause a limited set of applications to stop responding Originating KB URL: N/A Originating Build: N/A Resolved KB URL: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/5020044 Date Resolved: 2022-11-29T10:00:00-08:00 Vendor Message History: ======================= Published: 2022-11-30T01:39:22.06+00:00 ---------------------------------------- After installing Windows 11, version 22H2 (also called Windows 11 2022 Update), certain applications may become unresponsive when keyboard shortcuts are used to turn on/off or change IME (Input Method Editor) input modes. Examples of actions that can cause this issue: - For Japanese: - Using the Hankaku/Zenkaku (半角 / 全角) key on a Japanese keyboard - Using the default keyboard shortcut: holding down the Alt key and pressing ~ (tilde) - For Chinese: - Using the default keyboard shortcut: holding down the Control key and pressing Space - For Korean: - Using the default keyboard shortcut: pressing down the right Alt key It is possible this issue will occur silently, and not result in the display of any error messages. This issue is observed for applications which load certain components of the Text Services Framework (TSF). Only some applications do this, not all. Applications which don't load these components should not experience this issue, and are expected to function normally when keyboard shortcuts are used. Workaround: Changing input mode by clicking the IME mode icon in the taskbar should not trigger this issue. This issue occurs only when using keyboard shortcuts. Resolution: This issue was resolved in updates released November 29, 2022 (KB5020044 (https://support.microsoft.com/help/5020044)) and later. We recommend you install the latest security update for your device.
