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!

Exactly. I am in Calgary, in Canada, as well. But, does not matter what country as long as the Keyboard is English (US).
English (Canada), English (UK), etc. will not do it, only, English (US)... regardless of geographic place.
And while I'm at it... seems some think it only works in Office stuff... Outlook, Word, et al. Not the case... can be used damn near anywhere one can type, internally or web sites.
Obviously, you must be in NS 😊 I'm originally from NB (Moncton).
Cheers,

Exactly. I live in Canada but when I changed my default language to US English the emoji panel started working. 😆
Well, not really... you understood it to be or mean a Keyboard language setting not, a place setting; US English is not a country but, rather (specifying) a type of English (language not, location).
Cheers,
Drew
actually MS says
" Note:
This feature is available in US English only."
which I take to mean your language setting - not where you're located
they need to be more specific
You are most welcome. Glad I was able to help, always the goal. Ergo, times like this make it rewarding.
Ah, if the IT gods... to think MS would/should use my words... well, thanks for the compliment.
Yes, well, being in Fla. machine would be using default settings (so you wouldn't notice anything in that regard) and they are what the Emojie panel likes so, it works, naturally, for you or similar scenario.
In other words that ^ was a moot point from the onset; was solely the misunderstanding that it could only be seen in or with Office products.
Cool, all sorted, now 👍
Cheers,
Drew
