    Emoji popup stopped working


    Ctrl+; no longer works. Ctrl+< also no longer works. Just simply nothing happens, no matter how many times it hit it. And no matter where the caret is.


    This problem has occurred intermittendly months ago as well, and has been reported. Why is it not yet fixed?

    It doesn't seem like rocket science to popup a bloody emoji menu.


    Also why is there never a suitable "Windows topic" on this forum.

    :)

    Emoji popup stopped working

    The emoji popup stopped working. You know, the one you get when pressing Win+>

    After a reboot, it'll work fine again, but I don't want to reboot for a popup. How can I get it to work again?

    Emoji popup is flaky

    The emoji popup (Win+; or Win+.) doesn't always show up. Can this please be fixed? It's really annoying when I have to press the hotkey 5 times.

    When pressing either hotkey, it should JUST popup. ALWAYS and IMMEDIATELY.

    This seems silly, but if it doesn't show up, it "doesn't work" which is horrible UX. Anything UI-related should just always work, and must tested to death. It's the part of Windows that lies closest to the user, and generates the most hate when it's crappy.
    When something really complicated doesn't work, it might be understandable. But a bloody emoji popup is *not* complicated.

    Hello! I am an Independent Advisor, I would love to help you out!

    I am actually seeing the same issue for my own computer. However, I can work around it a little bit.

    After pressing win+> it won't work again after closing.

    However, if you press the win button by itself again the emoji pop up will work again after that by pressing win+> again.
