Hi.

For eons I've used emoticons on my Win10 machine by "pressing the Windows Logo button and the Full Stop button" together. Causing a little square sheet of them to superimpose on screen.

But yesterday, I got the square on screen and then scrolled down within it (to look at some different ones) and couldn't scroll back up to the originals !!
[And now, whenever I get the square on screen, it's always the bottom half I get.]

Does anyone know how to rectify this, please ??

What key is the "full stop" button?

Have you tried rebooting the computer to reset it?

On my keyboard, Draclvr, the punctuation mark "full stop" is situated just above the bottom row directly above a key called "Alt Gr" - which apparently is primarily used to "type characters that are used less frequently in the language that the keyboard is designed for, such as foreign currency symbols", according to Wikipedia.
[Never used it myself.

And yes, I've tried re-booting, but no joy rolleyes

I was going to have to ask about the "full stop" button also. I've actually always wondered where people got their emoticons from. Sorry this is not any help to you at all!

Edit: I also meant to say that I wonder if it has anything to do with Windows 10 no longer being supported. I have found that the desktop themes available in the Microsoft store accessed through "settings - personalization - themes" no longer seems to work right either.

I did some searching and the combination is "Windows Key and the period" punctuation mark. Your keyboard is QUITE different from ours!

Having said that, the Windows plus period works just fine for me. I did some searching and found that Windows key plus semicolon works the same way. Does that work for you?

Are you using the slider on the right side of the little panel or the scroll on your mouse?

Oldbroad, I also noticed the themes were working differently last spring. Must have been an update or something.
