Windows 10: Tenor GIF problem in Windows 11 Emoji Picker

My Emoji in Windows 11 for no reason when it enters GIF page it fails. I didn't disable it at all, or maybe accidentally. I tried to find a way but to no avail, even though site tenor.com is still working normally. Is there a way to enable the GIF again?

Emoji Picker Search Not Working

I can bring up the emoji picker with <Win+period> but when I try to search for an emoji by typing in the box, the box does not show the characters I type. Instead, it shows the keys in the order they are on the keyboard like this:

What I type: smile

What shows: qwert

Sometimes, it will be offset by a certain number of characters. I.e. sometimes it will start with "`1234", other times "ghjkl", etc. It seems to run on a cycle so the pattern repeats and it seems the pattern can start at any position depending on external factors.

If I start typing in the emoji search box and lets say the box shows "qwer" if I close the box and type something in another program, let's say "hello" then I open the emoji search again and start typing, the first character to show in the search will be "p". The five letters in "hello" (typed in another progarm) counted toward the cycle of characters in the emoji picker search so that it skips over "tyuio" and goes straight to "p".

Restarting the computer does not help. This has been happening for a month or more. I don't really use the search feature of the emoji picker that often as the emojis I want are generally right there when I open the picker and I can select with the arrow keys.

Where are the flag emojis in the emoji picker??

Just tried the emoji picker (Win+.) on update 2004 and I don't see any country flags? I can't even see the regional indicators either...

 

Can open windows emoji picker but no input

I can access windows emoji picker but it doesn't input and detect keywords (for example, searching for ice emoji)
It also only stays on the very first emoji and cannot choose (using arrow keys)
