<p>If you don't care about privacy, ads, and adwares, but have concerns about input speed and long-sentence input, use Sogou Pinyin.<br />
Otherwise, Rime is your only option. It's very complex and difficult to setup, and can't input a whole sentence without multiple selections.</p>

<p>recently my Windows 10 was updated and with came some changes with the input methods that I was using, namely Google Chinese Piyin 谷歌拼音. The problem is that I cannot access it now for no clear reason.
I could actually accept Microsoft Pinyin IME, as long as it could help me to one thing: change the default 【】 quotation marks, for 「」 that I have been using for years.</p>
<p>I have seen all the settings and did not find any function that could help me set up substitution characters as I was used in Google Pinyin IME.</p>
<p>Any ideas, guys?

For weird reasons, Google IM for Windows has stopped developing for years. You'd better switch anyway.

I highly suggest https://rime.im/ It might be a bit of work to install, but it's the best IME I've used for so many things, Cantonese Jyutping, Cangjie 5, IPA symbols, etc. It supports Pinyin, and many other input schemes as well.

1, You can use the software "Auto-hot-key"
Create a script and add the following lines
[::「
]::」

Run the scripts.
When you type [ on the keyboard it will be 「. When you type ] it will be 」. This solution will work regardless of Input Methods. This is neat and the most recommended solution.
You can also use different hotkeys, with or without modifiers, as you like. such as
^[::「
^]::」

means when you type ctrl + [ on the keyboard it will be「.
And if you are using 「」 as a Chinses counterpart of " " you can use the following script
+'::
 {
   toggle := !toggle
   if (toggle)
    {
      sendinput, 「
    }
   else
    {
      sendinput, 」
    }
 }
return

When you type Shift + ', it will send 「 and 」alternatively, same as when you are using the double quotes in English.
