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.
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?
(sorry for bad english)
So, I deleted my Segoe UI Emoji (the windows 11 emojis) font with a ""better"" but it looks absolutely horrible, does anyone know if there is a way to restore that file?
It all happened because of this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOK9A24Q2kM
Windows 11 version: 23H2 (OS Build 22631.5472)
Maybe like a downloadable font file or something? I looked for it on the internet with no luck
Solved! thanks to JenxxTR (BlockTurbulent8062)
You need to replace the $DownloadURL with a locally downloaded seguimj file if it cannot fetch it! It runs in powershell
