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!

    I am in Calgary (Canada) and, certainly, agree w/ y'all.

    If it is any consolation at all for many countries this will not, any longer, be the case come Spring of 2018.

    Already, in the Insider Builds, it works w/out being set to English (US).  Suggest you will see this change (improvement) in the major Spring update on mainstream installations.  Ergo, not a very long wait to endure, now.

    Case in point, I am running my 1709 w/ English (US) whilst, my IB is English (Canada) and Emoji Panel works in both.

    We did know @ the onset that it would be, initially, English (US) only & broaden sometime thereafter.

    Cheers,

    Drew

    Hi Sprocker...

    that's good trick I'm using in fact

    WIN + SPACE (switch to US keyboard)

    WIN + . (open emoji panel)

    WIN + SPACE (switch back to native keyboard)

    but it's quite frustrating...so why MS doesn't simply allow WIN + . to work universally or if troubles to use another combination...

    Microsoft, this is a pain for your non-US keyboard using customers. Please can you fix this feature to work on any language keyboard? As an English (United Kingdom) customer, having to switch to an English (US) keyboard first, then click WIN + . is frustrating.

    One tip for others in the same boat; you can quickly switch between keyboards with WIN + SPACE so getting the emoji panel from your native-language keyboard becomes

    WIN + SPACE (switch to US keyboard)

    WIN + . (open emoji panel)

    WIN + SPACE (switch back to native keyboard)

    Yes, I got it working. The problem was that I had no idea to what they were referring. If they had said the "Keyboard language" must be set to US, I would have known what that meant. They did not. lol

    They said "Available only in US English" or something like that.

    Thanks Drew
