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!

    Correction:

    The keyboard can be set to English (US), BUT, the Region must be USA.  It is not currently available in other countries regardless of the K/B language used. It's a location issue (right now) not, a language issue.

    Cheers,

    Drew

    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.

    That worked like a charm, didn't even needed to reboot, the panel opened directly (on command of course) after closing the Regedit :)

    Thanks!

    Just did a change to English (US) keyboard in the new settings panel. It wasn't working. Then realised there was 2 options added so once I changed it to ENG English (United States) US keyboard, the emoji shortcut menu works.

    My location is set to Singapore by the way. You may want to play around with the settings to see. And my Windows is version 1709 final release, not preview. 😁

    Good luck!

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

    In Canada using English (US) keyboard and this panel does not appear.  Anybody baffled, yet?

    Exactly.  I live in Canada but when I changed my default language to US English the emoji panel started working. 😆
