KB5062554, the July 2025 security update for Windows 10, has introduced a notable hiccup in the emoji picker functionality for users. While the overall feature remains operational, the search capability has been significantly hampered. Upon attempting to search for specific emojis, users are met with the disheartening message: “We couldn’t find this one.” This issue was replicated on our test PC after installing the update, confirming the widespread nature of the problem.
This isn’t an isolated incident, as discussions surrounding the KB5062554 update have proliferated on Reddit, with many users voicing similar frustrations. Although the emoji picker itself functions correctly, the search feature appears to be broken following the installation of this monthly security update. Microsoft acknowledged the issue a few days ago but has yet to provide any workaround.
Currently, the only solution for restoring the emoji picker’s search functionality is to uninstall the KB5062554 update from your Windows 10 PC. While it may seem excessive to remove a security update just to regain a feature, many users have confirmed that the search function works again after reverting the update, providing some reassurance.
Microsoft has not offered further details but one can anticipate a patch in the next optional update. In addition to this pressing concern, two other issues are also present within Windows 10.
Parental controls and Microsoft Changjie bugs
The Family Safety web filtering feature is designed to help parents manage their children’s browsing habits. However, a recent complication has arisen: if a child wishes to use a browser other than Edge, parents are currently unable to approve it. This limitation stems from Microsoft needing to update their block list to include the latest versions of supported browsers.
Another ongoing issue involves the Microsoft Changjie Input Method Editor for Windows 10. Users have reported difficulties with typing, including unresponsive keys and other malfunctions. Fortunately, an official workaround is available on the Health page, allowing users to revert to an older version of Microsoft Changjie and continue using it without encountering errors.
