Windows 10: When I press Win period to bring up the emoji selector it does nothing.

Hey,I've been trying to get an emoji but it doesnt show up when I use the Win Period shortcut! It's really annoying me. I've tried on Google chrome and Microsoft Edge doing right click, and then the Emoji button and it just closes the menu and does NOTHING. I use Windows 11, version 24H2. I really need help.Thanks,Theo Cole

How to change Windows 11 default emojis?

Windows 11 emojis are stored as a system font file named "Segoe UI Emoji" in the Windows Fonts folder. To modify these emojis, you'll need to replace this font file with a new one. Here's how to do it:

1. The emoji font is located at: C:\Windows\Fonts\seguiemj.ttf
   
2. This file contains the Segoe UI Emoji font used by Windows
   

1. Press Win + R, type "regedit" and press Enter to open the Registry Editor
   
2. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts
   
3. Find and delete the "Segoe UI Emoji" entry
   

1. Download your preferred emoji font (must be a COLR/CPAL-based OpenType font)
   
2. Rename the new font file to "Segoe UI Emoji" using a tool like Typograf
   
3. Right-click the renamed font file, choose "Show more options" > "Install for all users"
   
4. Restart your computer to apply the changes
   

You can also use the Windows 10 emoji set in Windows 11:

1. Download the Windows 10 emoji font from a trusted source
   
2. Follow steps 1-3 from the "Changing the Emoji Font" section
   
3. Install the Windows 10 emoji font file for all users
   

• Press Win + . (period) or Win + ; (semicolon) to open the emoji panel
  
• Use this panel to insert emojis in supported applications
  

• Some applications may not support all types of emojis
  
• Changing system files can potentially cause issues, so proceed with caution
  
• Always backup important data before making system changes
  

By following these steps, you can successfully update, add to, or change the emojis on your Windows 11 system.

Hi Sharaawy,

My name is Pedro. I'm an Independent Advisor trying to help.

Try the Emoji Picker and see if you like those.

To open the emoji picker, press Win+. or Win+; on your keyboard. In other words, hold the Windows key down and press either the period (.) or semicolon ( key.

Regards.
