Windows 10: Emoji keyboard hasn't been working for a while, how can I fix it?

Ever since some time back in early? 2020, my emoji keyboard broke. It comes up but when I click an emoji, it doesn't type anything. I've tried all the standard troubleshooting tips, my PC is up to date, etc. I can't reset it because I don't have time to go through every single one of my files and find what I need to backup. Any tips? Don't know if this is the right topic but this seems like a system failure or something so I put it here.

Emoji keyboard not working after 17763.134

Hi Ansel,

Try Restart your PC

If the Windows 10 emoji panel used to work fine but suddenly it stopped showing up even if you press the keyboard shortcut keys, try to close every opened apps and restart your PC.

Sometimes the emoji panel would get stuck on certain app and stop working on other text field when you press the keyboard shortcut. Thus, a restart should fix the issue.

Change keyboard language to English (United States)

The emoji panel was once available only for people who set their keyboard input language to EN United States. This was, however, changed since recent update and you can use Emoji panel even if you’re on other languages.

If for some reason, you have to stay with an old Windows 10 update where the emoji panel doesn’t get patch yet, you may want to try changing the keyboard language to en_US (English – United States).

Even if you’re not sure if this has anything to do with the Windows 10 emoji panel shortcut not working issue, just try to change the keyboard language to en_US and see if it works.

Here’s how to add or switch your keyboard language to United States English.

1. If you have multiple keyboard input languages in Windows 10, click on the input method in taskbar.

2. Select English (United States) US keyboard.Windows 10 Emoji Panel not working change language

3. Try Win+. keys to open emoji panel and see if it works.

4. If you don’t see US keyboard in the input method list, go to Settings.

5. Select Time & language, then Region & language.

6. Click Add a language and add English (United States).add a language Windows 10

7. If that doesn’t work, try to also change the Country or region to United States.

After changing the keyboard language, you may need to restart your computer. Upon restarting your PC, try to press the Win+period keys again and see if the Windows 10 emoji panel keyboard shortcut not working problem is fixed.
