Support for Windows 10?

"Actually MKLC 1.4 files work fine with Windows 10. Indeed, language bar disappears, after you change keyboard layout to the custom one. But, once you log off and and then log on again the language bar re-appears, and everything works great. The only minor nuisance is that there is no preview in language settings, but I can happily live without that :)" from Microsoft Answers
