I'm loving the Windows 10 emoji keyboard.
(type the keyboard combination Win + . to access it)

Windows Emoji Keyboard

Only problem is it doesn't close after selecting a character. You have to hit the Escape key to dismiss.

How do you set it to dismiss immediately after selecting an emoji?

There's a setting for this:

  1. Open Settings
  2. Search for "keyboard" and select Edit language and keyboard options
  3. On the right side, click Advanced keyboard settings
  4. Towards the bottom, uncheck Don't close the panel automatically after an emoji has been entered

    Has anyone figured out how to do this in Windows 11? This option seems to have vanished. – jeffmaher Jan 10 '22 at 19:25
  • Linking to @jeffmaher's own question here: https://superuser.com/q/1698523/954098 Bottom line is there's no elegant way to do it, but if you keep typing (press 'spacebar') the panel will go away. – OmerB Dec 04 '22 at 10:44
