Windows 10 KB5062554 update breaks emoji panel search feature

Windows 10 users report that the emoji panel search feature stopped working after installing the KB5062554 cumulative update, released as part of the July 2025 Patch Tuesday. The issue means you can still summon the emoji panel with Win + ., paste emojis, but typing in the search bar yields “We couldn't find this one.” The article notes several user reports on Reddit and confirms the problem started after the update, which BleepingComputer had previously covered as part of KB5062554’s changes.

According to Windows release health dashboard, Microsoft has acknowledged the issue and is actively working on a fix for a future update, with a known issue status now published. The piece also reminds readers that Windows 10 reaches end of support on 14 October 2025, after which free updates will no longer be provided, though extended security updates may be available for some. Update details and responses from Microsoft are tracked in ongoing coverage, with new statements issued on 15 July 2025.
