Win10 Emoji Panel Won't Open

[Geosammy]

Hi All,

I'm running the latest version of win 10 and the emoji panel will not open,
when using either Win + period, or Win + semicolon key's.

I've done a system file check and no integrity violations were found.
The emoji panel also doesn't open while in safe mode with networking.

Is there a known service, that needs to be turned on/running for this to work?

I've checked these settings, seen in the image below.
Which appear to be in order.



Maybe there's a setting I've overlooked, or perhaps have turned off?
I've also inquired at the tenforums.com regarding this issue and couldn't find a fix/correction for this issue
Attempting to set the keyboard layout back to it's default settings using PowerShell, proved to be ineffectual.

Any suggestion on how I might correct this issue, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

As a side note:
The emoji panel did at one point open as intended, now it doesn't.
It also was not functioning, prior to the latest August 14, 2018 - KB4343909 (OS Build 17134.228) update.

Works for you?  

Okay,
you can mark the thread solved for you, but not for me.

Right-clicking and selecting Emoji, doesn't do anything.

Seriously?  

I don't think so...  

Thanks for showing that it works for you.

it's all good Wallace sometimes I know

I can come across the wrong way to people on the forum

it's probably just me over thinking things  


it can drive you crazy thinking every sentence you write

then wondering if someone will take it the wrong way

I see nothing wrong with how you come accross Compton. You are only trying to help.

@Wallace make sure you have Language Settings set to English (United States) as the input language.

The language Settings appear to be set correctly.
As can be seen below.

I do believe I already posted this image, as part of my original post.
Does the image below show the correct location for the language settings?


Is there perhaps a different location for setting the language input, that I'm not aware of?

Sorry I missed that on your first post.

Try adding this entry to your registry.

* In the run box enter REGEDIT

* Navigate to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Input\Settings

*Right click on the "settings directory" and select New DWORD (32-Bit)

*Name it EnableExpressiveInputShellHotkey

*Give it  Value: 1

Save the entry, exit and reboot

NOTE please be sure to create a restore point and/or backup your registry before performing any registry editing.

I've seen this registry hack before.

It's my understanding, that this registry entry is for non-US versions of Win10.
By adding this registry entry. It enables the emoji picker on devices, that aren't running a U.S. install.
I live in Arizona, so I do have a U.S. install of Win10.

Am I correct, about what this registry entry is suppose to do?
