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?

I would think this is for all versions. It does not specify any other type of regional information in the key itself. It's worth a shot I would think.

Another option would be to perform a repair install. Works really well in Windows 10. It will set all settings back to default however. Make sure you are installing the newest Windows 10 version and always back up your data and create a restore point.


Also have emoji's ever worked?

When doing a web search for the aforementioned registry entry.
It appears to be a known registry hack.
For people who wish to enable the emoji picker on devices, that aren't running a U.S. install and don't have the emoji picker as a default feature.
That is what this entry is for, right?

The suggestion to do an in-place repair/install, seems to be the "go-to" option for just about any issue.
Which IMHO, is an over utilized option/suggestion.
Mostly used as a last resort effort, when all else has failed. Sad  

The next big Windows 10 update is soon to be upon us.
I think I'll wait for this next update and then do a fresh install.

I apologize, if I've taken any suggestion offered out of context.

Thanks to everyone who has replied to this thread.
The help and suggestions were much appreciated.

The in place repair is an absolute perfect recommendation when nothing else works and other options are out of the question. Hope the next update helps.

Thanks and I'm anticipating that the Redstone 5 update will fix this issue.
I do believe, that Redstone 5 is expected to be released in the September/October 2018 time frame.
Which isn't very far away.
Not having this feature isn't a game breaker.

Thanks again.

I'm glad, that you used the repair install successfully.  
I've decided to wait for this fall's update, rather than implementing a repair install.

Thank you for your feedback on this issue. Big Grin

Here is an update to this thread and the issue contained therein,
which includes the correction/fix that resolved this issue for me.

This issues was also posted by myself to the Win10 Forum.
At or around the same time, that it was posted on this forum.
The replies I received form the Win10 Forum.
Were not much different form the replies I received here.

However,  
I've since found, that the Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service,
or ctfmon.exe had somehow been disabled.

Upon setting this service to Manual (Trigger Start).
This corrected the Emoji Panel issue I was experiencing.


* * *

I'll attempted to explain the process I used here below,
in the best way I can.

You first need to access the Windows Services Management Console.
There are a variety of ways to accomplish this.
Below are 4 descriptions on how to do this.

1. Type Services, into the Windows Search Box.
Then,
click or tap the search result with the same name.

2. Click the Start button

Scroll down the list of apps to find Windows Administrative Tools.
Expand it,
look for the Services shortcut.

Click on it.

3. Access the Control Panel.
Go to System and Security > Administrative Tools.
In the list of Administrative Tools,
find and click on the Services shortcut.

4. Press, Win + R on the keyboard,
to open the Run window.
Type "services.msc" and hit Enter or press OK.

Using any one of the 4 methods described above,
should open the Services Management Console.

Once you've opened the Windows Services Management Console.
Scroll down the list of services.
Look for the service,
Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service.

Check the Startup Type for this service.
As you can see from my screenshot shown above.
The service's startup type on my computer,
is set to Manual (Trigger Start).

If the startup type shows as not disabled,
there is no change necessary.

However,
if the service does show as disabled.
You will need to change the service's startup type.
To Automatic (Delayed Start),
Automatic or Manual.

To change startup type of a service.
Double click the service to open it's Properties window.


.png   Properties_window.png (Size: 144.09 KB / Downloads: 12)

The General tab opens by default.
You can then find the ‘Startup Type‘ and change it to Manual,
Automatic (Delayed Start),
Automatic, or Disabled.

Be sure to change it to either Manual,
Automatic (Delayed Start) or Automatic.

Click the OK button to save the change and quit.
