I created a modified version of Google's Noto Color Emoji that replaces the Windows' default Emoji font, Segoe UI Emoji, upon installation.

Well, it's not like Microsoft deliberately disabled the support of Noto Emoji. More simply it just outright does not support the format that Noto uses.
While almost all fonts you deal with are OpenType-based, there are several different colour-font extensions to OpenType – Segoe UI Emoji uses Microsoft's own format (layered vector drawings in COLR/CPAL), while Noto Emoji Color uses Google's own (bitmap images in CBDT/CBLC). There's also Adobe's "SVG " and Apple's "sbix" format.
Noto is originally drawn in SVG format, so it includes Adobe's "SVG " table alongside Google's bitmaps, because that's simple enough. But the Microsoft layered format is quite different, so I'm not sure if automatic conversion would be easy or even possible.
See also issue #43 "NotoColorEmoji.ttf not a valid font in Windows" on GitHub for a more detailed explanation.
A while ago, there used to be an "Adobe Type Manager" adding support for Type-1 fonts, back when Windows only supported TrueType. But I haven't heard of anything that would add support for different kinds of emoji fonts...
Maybe you'll like the new Segoe Emoji that Build 14316 brings?
Update: Microsoft says that the 2016 "Anniversary" update finally supports all the above formats.
straight to the point: I am not talking about the shortcut keys to display emojis screen "win+.". NO, I am talking about setting a certain keyboard shortcut to certains emojis
on Apple devices like "mac, iphone, etc.." I can do that like when typing on keyboard "xD" it displays the emoji 😂 and when I type :: it displays the emoji 😀and I can change the shortcuts to whatever I want.
is there any mean to do this on windows? or any mid app that can help me do this? this would save a lot of time instead of opening a screen and choosing any emoji but cursor "urghh, boring....."
