Japanese - Windows Display Language

Hello.

As a Japanese student, I recently changed the Windows Display Language to Japanese. However, I find it kind of awkward to try and read correctly the kanji. Whoever knows how the Japanese language works, know what I'm talking about. I know the Windows Team have nothing to do with it as they're already helping enough by having a Japanese option, but just to make sure I'm not missing on anything, I ask:

Is there any way or a known software to make the kanjis shown on the Windows system to also show the Furigana above them?

(Furigana is the reading of the kanji characters in hiragana, which is one of the two writing systems of the Kana system. It's pretty much how the Japanese natives read the Chinese "words" kanji)

Thank you in advance

Hi,

 

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

 

We understand your concern. However, Furigana, which is basically a reading aid for the pronunciation of the Japanese characters, is currently unavailable as a default feature of Windows 10. You may check the Microsoft store or your preferred web browser to see there is an application that fits your requirement.
