Known Issues
Symptom
While setting up a new Windows device, users may encounter an issue at the Out of Box Experience (OOBE) phase. You may not be able to create a local user when using the Input Method Editor (aka IME). Furthermore, it might affect you adversely if you are using the IME for Korean, Chinese, and Japanese languages.
However, you should also keep a note that the problem does not affect while using a Microsoft Account during OOBE.
Workaround
The giant software provides you a temporary resolution for this issue. The team asks you to set the keyboard language to English during user creation. Or you can use a Microsoft Account to end the OOBE procedure and mitigate the problem. The good thing is you can pretty effortlessly set the keyboard language back to your preferred one after user creation.
Microsoft is working on a resolution and the forthcoming release will provide you the same. Until then, you can try out this simple tweak.
