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.

 

Win10 Emoji Panel Won't Open

I think you'll have to find another guinea pig, to try this out on, because I'm not willing.

I'd rather wait for the fall update and take it from there.
Unfortunately, nothing suggested has worked.

My thinking is,
that this may be a registry issue,
which I have no idea how to correct, or where to look and what to amend.

Anyone know what registry entries, I might want to check out and what might need to be changed?

Actually, I don't really use the emoji panel anyway.
It's just another culmination of small issues, that win10 has failed to seamlessly incorporate.
Don't get me wrong...
Windows 10 is the best thing they've ever created.
I'm very happy with it.

I don't understand why some people would want to post,
that this feature works for them?
Am I missing something here? *Huh

Hi
I tried your suggested test and nothing happens.
The emoji panel did not open.*Sad

Note:
This was also occurring prior to the latest August 14, 2018 - KB4343909 (OS Build 17134.228) update.
