Windows 10: Why is an emoji window popping up every time I press the space bar?

Every time i hit the spacebar it’s pulling up an emoji shortcut window. I’m not hitting a combination, just the spacebar and I can use it normally anymore. Is there a way to turn this off?

No emojis!

Hi Bob,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, please reply with the answers to the questions below.

1. When you say “having NO EMOJIS”, may I know where exactly you are looking for the emojis?
   
2. What is the build of Windows 10 running on your system? To check that, press the
   Windows key and R key, type winver and press
   Enter.
   

I understand your interest in emojis and we are glad to inform you that the emojis have been introduced into the Windows 10 operating system. If you are looking for a way to access it, I would suggest you to refer the article on

Space..Bar

Hi Regina,

There are different reasons why your space bar and other keys are not responding.
For us to properly isolate your concern, we'd like to know the following:

• When was the last time that your space bar and other keys were working?
• Have you made any changes on your machine prior to this issue?
• Have you installed all pending updates on your machine?
• What is the build and version of your Windows?

In the meantime, we suggest that you run a
quick test scan
first on your computer to check for possible errors.
You can visit your computer manufacturer’s website to access their
Diagnostic Tool. The tool will help us determine if the issue has something to do with the hardware or software of
your computer. If an error is detected, it will automatically fix and recommend other troubleshooting steps to resolve your issue.

We'll be waiting for your response.
