Where Is Windows Emoji History Stored?
Windows emoji panel history location, clipboard sync and the most used tab.
Last updated
The Windows emoji panel (Windows plus period) keeps a Most used row from inserted emoji. That ordering lives with clipboard and input state rather than a document you open.
There is no friendly emoji folder to back up. Cloud clipboard syncs entries across signed in PCs. If recents vanish, check clipboard history toggles before hunting files.
Where Windows stores this, by platform
Settings > System > Clipboard
Emoji recents tie into clipboard state on the device. Enable history here and test with the panel shortcut. Cloud sync extends recents when signed in.

Does clipboard history feed emoji recents?
Toggle Clipboard history in Settings under System. The panel draws recents from that store on the same device. Cloud clipboard extends it across PCs when signed in.
