Windows 10: My emoji keyboard stops working and I have to reboot to get it to work again

The same with my nightlight that makes the screen dim at night, it works fine for awhile, then it doesn't, but when I reboot it works again. Very inconvenient to have to do this all the time. Why do they stop working?Thank you.Windows 11 Pro 22H2all updatedDell i7 12th gen. 64 bit64GB RAM

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.

Let me know

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?
