  • Installation of KB5062554 renders the emoji panel search inoperative, returning “We couldn’t find this one” for any query
  • User reports on Reddit and confirmations from BleepingComputer and Forbes emerged within days of Patch Tuesday
  • No official response or timeline for a fix has been provided by Microsoft, leaving rollback as the sole workaround
  • Security experts warn that recurring update failures may discourage the timely application of critical patches
  • With Windows 10 reaching end of support on October 14, 2025, unresolved bugs intensify calls for migration to Windows 11
