Windows 10: Turning off Emoji Panel on Windows 10

Hey guys,I'm truly shocked this is so complicated apparently to do.So I guess a new update came out with an emoji panel in Windows 10 and it appears every time any Fkey is pressed or whenever the 'm' key is pressed.How do you disable this? Websites are saying you need to modify the registry files but this seems ridiculous to me. Shouldn't it just be some checkbox? Something like "Do you want emojis?" If so, then tick the box. Even calling tech support didn't work called Dell tech support.It seems crazy that such a simple feature cannot be easily disabled.Thank you!

:)

 

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.
