"Press Windows logo key + period (.) to open an emoji panel" does not work

The "What's New" page on the Creators Update (at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4043948/windows-10-whats-new-in-fall-creators-update-1709) says:

"Press Windows logo key  + period (.) to open an emoji panel, then express yourself with emoji wherever you want, such as conversations, docs, and even web searches."

Well, it doesn't work. Nothing happens no matter where I try it.

What could the problem be?

    I agree. I use emojis in my day-to-day work and this always worked fine before I updated it. Now, no solution to be found.

    Totally doesn't work; tried the semicolon; how was it written to work or do you even know? Why should I do a clean boot and waste time fixing something you don't even know how it's supposed to work....??? (screwing-up my computer in the meantime)

    Perhaps I should stand on one leg???? CHEEZEL-PEAT!!!

    This really isn't good enough Microsoft.  Amateurish at best.

    mine are already set to English and US- still doesn't work

    You will have a US Keyboard because that is more or less universal amongst English speakers.  But you should check out if you really have the English US language.   If you had a different English Language before you added the English US then, say English Australia, then you must check (down near the time), on the bottom right hand side where it says ENG.  Click on the ENG and make sure English US is actually selected.
