  1. How to pin emoji panel?


    Hi, I've just found out about the emoji panel and it's great. But I have to press both Windows key plus dot (.) each time to open it up. How do I simply pin it on a taskbar etc. to make it open with one click? Thanks.

  3. How to change Windows 11 default emojis?

    Windows 11 emojis are stored as a system font file named "Segoe UI Emoji" in the Windows Fonts folder. To modify these emojis, you'll need to replace this font file with a new one. Here's how to do it:

    1. The emoji font is located at: C:\Windows\Fonts\seguiemj.ttf
    2. This file contains the Segoe UI Emoji font used by Windows
    1. Press Win + R, type "regedit" and press Enter to open the Registry Editor
    2. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts
    3. Find and delete the "Segoe UI Emoji" entry
    1. Download your preferred emoji font (must be a COLR/CPAL-based OpenType font)
    2. Rename the new font file to "Segoe UI Emoji" using a tool like Typograf
    3. Right-click the renamed font file, choose "Show more options" > "Install for all users"
    4. Restart your computer to apply the changes
    You can also use the Windows 10 emoji set in Windows 11:

    1. Download the Windows 10 emoji font from a trusted source
    2. Follow steps 1-3 from the "Changing the Emoji Font" section
    3. Install the Windows 10 emoji font file for all users
    • Press Win + . (period) or Win + ; (semicolon) to open the emoji panel
    • Use this panel to insert emojis in supported applications
    • Some applications may not support all types of emojis
    • Changing system files can potentially cause issues, so proceed with caution
    • Always backup important data before making system changes
    By following these steps, you can successfully update, add to, or change the emojis on your Windows 11 system.

    Win10 Emoji Panel Won't Open

    Hi All,
    I also posted this same question here...
    Entering Emoji on Hardware Keyboard with Emoji Panel in Windows 10

    Anyway,

    I'm running the latest version of win 10 and the emoji panel will not open,
    using either *Start+ ., or *Start + ; key's.

    I've done a system file check and no integrity violations were found.

    Is there a know service, that needs to be turned on/running for this to work?
    Or maybe there's a setting I've overlooked, or perhaps turned off?

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

    Thanks.

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