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)

    I'm not from the USA. I'm from India 😊. I can access the emoji panel 🤣. It's the problem with the keyboard. Emoji panel is compactable with ENG US only.

    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.

    Great answer. Worked perfectly for me 👍

    Thank you very much.

    This worked for me too, v1709 in Switzerland.

    No need to install or switch to any foreign keyboards.

    Also, as Patrice pointed out, there's no need to reboot. I was able to use the emoji keyboard half a second after setting the registry key.

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

    Thanks!
