The search feature for the Windows 10 emoji panel is broken after installing the KB5062554 cumulative update released Tuesday, making it not possible to look up emojis by name or keyword. BleepingComputer can confirm that the search feature in the Windows 10 emoji panel worked before installing the KB5062554 update. However, after installing the update, the feature no longer worked, now stating "We couldn't find this one," no matter what we typed. Since installing the Windows 10 KB5062554 update, numerous users report they are unable to use the search feature of the emoji picker to find and insert emojis into their writing. "After installing the July 2025 cumulative update (KB5062554), the emoji picker still mostly works – you can call it up with (Win + .) and clicking an emoji pastes it correctly – but the emoji search function is completely bricked," a Windows 10 user posted to Reddit. Windows includes an emoji panel that allows you to select emojis to insert into text or search for an emoji using keywords. On Tuesday, Microsoft released Windows updates to fix bugs and security vulnerabilities as part of the July 2025 Patch Tuesday. Windows 10 reaches end of support on October 14, 2025, with technical support, feature updates, and security updates no longer provided by Microsoft for free.
