Hi all,

When I try to press Win+. or Win+; to open the emoji panel after I've installed the Fall Creators Update, it doesn't seem to work. This is using a Dell Precision 5520.

Many thanks!

    Hi !

    Well I don't know where y'all live, but there's something I found while searching:

    https://mspoweruser.com/heres-new-emoji-picker-windows-10-might-not-work/

    So I guess it isn't a bug, but the Emoji panel is only available in the USA for now.

    (P.S. I can't open it, too, I'm in France)

    The Emoji panel (accessed by holding the Windows key then tapping ; or . ) is only supported for English American keyboard.

    This needs to be fixed so it can be used in all languages.

    If you need the emoji panel add the American Keyboard 👿

    Wow! Thank you so much. It worked for me. I just changed my keyboard's language from English(Philippines) to English(United States) and the Win+. shortcut worked 👍😊

    I'm from the Philippines btw, so clearly, it can work even if you're not in the US.

    Found you can fix this on 1709 by adding a Registry entry:

    REGEDIT

    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Input\Settings

    New DWORD (32-Bit): EnableExpressiveInputShellHotkey

    Value: 1

    Then reboot.  It's also fixed in the insider build.

    Launch Twitter, Word, Outlook or any other application that supports emoji symbols and the panel will show up. It won't show if you just attempt to launch it by itself.  😁👏👌  It even works when replying online.
