Hello, I replaced the Win 11 emoji file with one which everyone on webgroups SAID was going to roll back to Win 10 emoji's. However, the file is corrupted or not displaying correctly. How can I go BACK to the original Win 11 file?f

Martin can you email me instructions to replace the awful WIN11 emoji set with the WIN10 set? I dont see the actual file in this thread.
It's a separate font named "Segoe UI Emoji", found in Windows\Fonts\seguiemj.ttf.
To answer your question, user1686 is correct. However, I don't believe that you have a corrupted emoji file. Considering how you have Windows 10, the last emoji update for Windows 10 was in 2019, while every new emoji update past that year is only supported in Windows 11. Click here to see last update that supported emojis for Windows 10.
Last year, the new emoji style from Windows 11 was published in articles such as this one https://winaero.com/get-build-22478-new-emoji-in-windows-10-and-windows-11/ where anyone can download the seguiemj.ttf font file.
A year later, Windows 11 emojis have gotten some updates, but there doesn't seem to be any place to find the updated seguiemj.ttf. Where can I download this, preferably without downloading Windows 11?
I would like to find the redesigned emojis for Windows 11 in SVG form. I know there was a similar project for the old emojis https://github.com/notopsee/Microsoft-Segoe-UI-Emoji-SVG-Icons
Any help welcome!
Edit: These are the emojis I'm talking about https://emojipedia.org/microsoft/windows-11-november-2021-update/
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.
