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 did this and it worked from this link. It took about 1/2 hour or more to write the 50 sentences. I pushed save after last sentence and I got a perpetual (Not Responding) error for 5-7 minutes. Then it said your handwriting samples have been saved. Great! I'll have to wait and see if this has indeed improved recognition.

    I write often, I take notes as a psychotherapist in session. The recognition in MS OneNote is poor, I have to do a lot of after recognition editing of my note. It's recognition is worse than Notes Plus on the Apple App store for iPad, which was not stellar either. In addition, often after writing a sentence and touching Next with surface pen, my writing palm would touch the screen and minimize this window and I would have to click on it. I would sometimes get the same as my palm moved across the page.

    Though, it would be nice if I could bring over my previous personalization from Windows 8.....

    Joseph Agu seriously have you checked the many feedback provided in Feedback Hub App?

    Check Page 1 , Page 2, Page 3 , etc...

    The first feedbacks was reported more than one year ago, and since then Microsoft has done nothing, now there are thousands or more people affected by this issue, and they should await months for the release of Creators Update to have the fix for this issue.

    oops here is the screenshot of Settings > Time & Language > Additional Date Time & Regional Settings > Add a language > Advanced Settings, that you requested.
