Answer
Problem is caused by a known issue in Windows 10 where the ctfmon.exe process is not auto-running.
This problem occurs if an application “ctfmon.exe” (CTF Loader) is not running in Windows 10.
Ctfmon.exe application comes preinstalled with Windows 10 and is responsible for features like speech recognition, handwriting, language schemes, etc. This application can be found tipically in C:\Windows\System32 folder.
For this reason, the process has to be enabled again. To do this the customer has to create a string with the path to the process in the location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
- The key can have any name for example ctfmon
- The value of the string key is the path to the process: C:\Windows\System32\ctfmon.exe
