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

    i have had the same issue, naturally I suspect an update. 

    looks like handwriting recognition is limited to english us after all the updates filter through.

    In the language settings i added english us as  second language, the used english US when writting and english UK when typing. 

    settings , time and language, language

    or when you change the keyboard there will be a short cut to the language settings.

    Once there is More than one language in the preferences you can toggle between languages in the keyboard options.

    cant help those writing in a language other than english, sorry.
