Please tell me how I can enable the emoji icon in the taskbar to display emojis? I know that pressing the Windows key + period opens the emoji tray. But I want them to be displayed in the system tray. I have the latest 25H2 build on my laptop. So does my tower computer. They appear on it. I checked the settings. There isn't an option for that. Thank you very much.

Hi, good day!

Please check and try the steps on How to enable the touch keyboard in Windows 10 in the link below.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/enable-and-disable-the-touch-keyboard-in-windows-e2b05375-908d-45ec-b7f7-729349a10c7a#id0ebf=windows_10

Once enabled, you can access the emoji panel from there.

I look forward to receiving your update and I'm willing to collaborate with you till we resolve the issue. Do keep me informed by clicking "Add comment" below instead of Yes or No button.

    (It is the taskbar, not the system tray.)

    It is enabled on my other computer. They both have Windows 11 25H2. (Windows Pro. The AI tag generator is bunk.) Whoever answered me is wrong. Someone, please answer me correctly.
