2, Toolbar Settings

If the input method icon in the lower right corner of the desktop is gone, the input method cannot be switched, then the next step is required.

Try using the “Ctrl+Shitft” key combination to see if the input method can be called up. If you still can't use the input method, you can use the “Ctrl+Spacebar” key combination to test.

Right-click on the blank space of the taskbar and select: Toolbar--> Language Bar, as shown below

Select the language bar, in front of “√ ” will be hit, then look at the input method icon is already out?

3, control panel settings

If the desktop input method has not come out at this time, then you have to do the third step.

Open the Control Panel and find the tab for the Control Language bar. Here are the steps:

Start-->Control Panel-->Clock, Language, and Region-->Change Keyboard Or other input methods, as shown below.
Open Control Panel
Enter Input Method System Settings

In the next pop-up window, make a series of settings and call up the language bar, ie the input method icon. The operation steps are as follows:

Keyboard and Language-->Change Keyboard-->Language Bar-->Dock on the taskbar, as shown below.

Finally, click OK to take effect. See if the input method icon is out? Try to switch the input method?

4, process settings

The above is also a very simple operation for the novice, as long as the system has a little understanding, it is a piece of cake. However, if the above steps are not yet effective, what should be done?

We know that every program that is being executed will have a process, and now the desktop input method is gone, is the process closed? If it is closed, can you solve the problem by adding a process? Take a look at it and you will get the answer.

Open the Process Manager first, right-click on the taskbar, select Task Manager, or use the key combination “Ctrl+Alt+Del” to open the Task Manager.

The process of the system control input method is "ctfmon", but the process cannot be found under the Win7 system, but adding this process directly in the task manager can still be solved. The problem is not shown in the process management, and it may be restored to the original state after the restart. In the XP system, you can see the process after the addition is complete.

The specific operation is as follows: File-->New Task-->Enter“cftmon”--> OK.
