There are no handwriting options for this language - SP4/Win10

Hello, 

I have a Surface Pro 4 with windows 10 using Australia English. When I download language packs it comes up with "there are no handwriting options for your language" I have the location and date set to Aus but still nothing. I am able to write using the pen pad keyboard but I am unable to correct any letters that the computer doesn't recognize. 

This is the same no matter what language I have it set (English - USA)

Any help would be much appreciated. 

Cheers

    Hi Amit, 

    1. How are you trying to download the language pack? Settings - time and language - region language - English (Australia) - Options -
    2. What is the exact message that you see?  Handwriting - There are no handwriting options for this langauge
    3. Are you logged in to Microsoft account? Yes
    4. Did you make any recent hardware/software changes? no

    I'm having the same exact issue but with "Italian" language.

    I also have this issue, which has emerged after receiving Windows Updates (Insider program) that caused the language packs to be reset.

    I am awaiting Microsoft's response in this thread but do not have high hopes.
