Windows 10: Emoji panel bug?

I can't seem to use the emoji panel on any other text box aside from what I have that works; Netflix for windows and the start menu search box. I just get the tooltip "press winkey + period (.) to use emoji in any app".

It looks like it doesn't hook to the current text box that I'm using. When I test it on the netflix app, it hooks there and shows up in the top middle of the app, and when I use the shortcut again in a different text box it still thinks I'm in the netflix app. Same goes with the start menu search box.

I basically gave up on google search because it seems it only shows problems from users that cant open the emoji panel. I can open it, it just doesn't insert any emoji when I press it but it shows in the recent emojis used that I "used" it.

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.

Hi
I tried your suggested test and nothing happens.
The emoji panel did not open.*Sad

This was also occurring prior to the latest August 14, 2018 - KB4343909 (OS Build 17134.228) update.

 

Windows 10 emoji panel

I get some interesting emojis from friends and was wondering if there is any way of adding them to the MS emoji panel?
