In many cases (for users of Windows 10 operating system ) UniKey has an error when used on some applications and requires admin rights to be able to use. To avoid these problems, it is best to install Unikey to always run as Administrator.

Step 1 : You start the Vietnamese typing program Unikey on your computer, click on Expand .
Step 2 : Uncheck the Startup with Windows , then turn off Unikey completely.
