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 can use handwriting for only one language: English (United States). It is the Windows Display Language. However, I can't change the Windows Display Language (tried many different ways).

    No Language Options (including handwriting) for other languages, and no way to download other language packs.

    I suspect the two issues are related, but I've no idea whether the inability to change the Display Language is causing the lack of language options, or the inability to download the language packs (no language options) is preventing the change of Display Language.

    Just realised that this thread is binned under Surface Pro 4. I'm using ASUS Transformer 3 Pro so this is likely a Windows 10 issue rather than a Surface issue.

    Please to anyone that has the same issue, track useful steps/information necessary to reproduce the issue with Microsoft Problem Steps Recorder and upload all reports.

    Event logs reports and other screenshots also useful.

    I've contacted Microsoft support, they will hear us!
