Missing Emoji key in latest Windows 10 update

Question

I recently updated a Windows 10 tablet to 1703, and on some applications the Emoji button on the onscreen keyboard has been replaced by one that seems to toggle key highlighting when writing.

Please see attached screenshot. Any idea why this happens, and how can I return the keyboard to how it used to be?

Thanks for your help.

This just happened to me. I found a suggestion to go to the Ease of Access settings and turn on the On-Screen Keyboard from there. I did it and it brought back my Emoji button.
