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.

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.

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.

“The moment you type anything in the searchbar you get the “We couldn’t find this one” error.”

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.

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.

Enterprise and consumers can purchase extended updates, but this only extends Windows 10 security updates for one year for consumers and up to three years for businesses.

While Microsoft will likely fix this bug in the coming months, they are pushing people to upgrade to Windows 11, where they are focusing all of their development.

BleepingComputer contacted Microsoft to see if they plan on fixing this bug, and will update the story when we receive a response.

Paul Atkins, Donald Trump’s nominee for chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), advanced through the Senate Banking Committee on Thursday.

According to a Reuters report, the committee approved Atkins in a 13-11 vote, with all Democrats opposing the nomination.

Atkins, a former SEC commissioner, is known for his deregulatory stance and ties to the cryptocurrency industry.

The nomination now moves to the Senate floor for final confirmation. If confirmed, Atkins will succeed Acting Chair Mark Uyeda, who has led the SEC since January. Atkins has pledged to prioritize regulatory clarity for digital assets and streamline capital formation processes.

Critics, including Senator Elizabeth Warren, have raised concerns about Atkins’s record during the 2008 financial crisis and his advisory role with the collapsed crypto exchange FTX.

Despite opposition, Atkins is expected to secure confirmation in the Republican-controlled Senate.

During his nomination hearing before the Senate Banking Committee on March 27th, Atkins said that he had witnessed how regulations impact markets and investors.

“Since 2017, as I have led industry efforts to develop best practices for the digital asset industry, I have seen how ambiguous and non-existent regulations for digital assets create uncertainty in the market and inhibit innovation.”

To address the challenges stemming from the absence of clear rules for digital assets, Atkins said he will work to establish a regulatory framework for crypto.

“A top priority of my chairmanship will be to work with my fellow Commissioners and Congress to provide a firm regulatory foundation for digital assets through a rational, coherent, and principled approach.”
